Motorists report hearing a sound similar to that of a military jet followed by a seeing a silver streak, hearing a sonic boom and hearing a loud rumble that dissipated as the streak disappeared in the distance.

Well he journey is over. Car arrived safe and sound and she runs like a MONSTER. Car is still not registered so I can't do much wild stuff with it.......YET!!!

First few stomps were just what I had hoped for. Just like Victor said, the hood just lifts right up on it and it jams. This is gonna sound weird, but the car actually feels a lot smoother now. Just smoothly and quickly hammers right through the power band.

Thank you THANK YOU to Victor and Vadim and all that helped with their advice and encouragement throughout this entire journey. Now onto bigger and better for you Mr V, let's see that Havoc machine roll out 600whp!!!!

PS. Vids and more coming. Just gotta run her down to Ken and get it all legal. Cops around here are basically pretty nasty. Kinda like rent-a-cops and always looking for every little thing to pull over.

Jim,

I didn't make it to Utah with my car earlier in the month but I will be coming up on May 1-4th. Now....don't even think of blowing me off this time. I've got to see it in person. We'll even bring the video camera so everyone can see how bad you walk the weak RT stg. 5. Let's make it happen!
