    Pat, the sound is out on my computer since I did that recovery to get rid of some viruses, but the video alone was great. Looks like he has to get it moving before nailing it by the smoke off the tires at half track. I think that would definitely qualify as a sleeper. Pittsburgh Boy, huh?

    Gotta love sleepers. Thanks for posting that.

    Don

    Don...if you go to the "other website", you'll see some pics of the setup. The engine looks fairly stock from the engine compartment but what you don't see underneath is Twin turbos (near the rear axle) and nitrous.

    Too bad that you don't have sound. Very heavy Pittsburgh accent!

    Thanks for the other link Denny.

    Pat : )

    Well, the twin turbos do add a bit of power, I would imagine....
