wasnt that white C43 S/C, the one that ran like a crazy 1/4 mile, upon launch the entire front end would lift? I remember seeing it like 8-10 months ago

That car started life as a C43, but had an N/A AMG 5.5 engine transplant, headwork, KLEEMANN S/C, among other things. Here's a link:

I drag raced with the infamous MBAutowerks C43 (55) at Silver Dollar dragway here in GA. I was actually in the other lane during its quickest ET, yup that's my not so best ET in on the time slip in the link. My best (all stock) is a 14.04. That's my red pocket rocket in the pictures of the MBAutowerks link too. The white monster is extremely impressive but definitely not a simple S/Ced C43. That thing is gunna need a chute pretty soon (and perhaps a roll bar might be a good idea).
