:D <--- Clickage

Too bad everything's an estimate, I'd love to see some dyno sheets/timeslips, tho it looks like they're not 100% done with the project IMO

I kinda like those GLHs, but there's no real question they are the lamest cars ever built with the Shelby name.

There's a few reputible people that know of this car up in Canada, it's legit! but I'd still love some hard numbers to look at :)

Lame? It runs circles around a Shelby GT350, it's a very capable car!

40K Canadian = 29K US I believe, still a lot of dough, but it's a hell of a nice job they did

So would I. I'll hunt the little ah heck down when I'm in the area on spring break and tell him to dyno/drag it. It runs what he says, I'll pay. If not, it's his dime and I get to hoist the BS flag. :D

anyone ever read Neal Stephenson's Zodiac?

Parts of it read like "Ode to the Omni GLH Turbo," and it is noted that the GLH stands for "Goes Like Hell"

HOLY CRAP! You could probably make the money you spend on that car just by making bets w/ supra, 300zx tt, porsche, lambo, mercedes AMG, bmw M & Dinan owners saying they can't beat you!!!!!!!!!!!

If he is making 550hp I have no doubt it would run what he is saying if not faster. Gary's stripped K-car runs mid 10s with only 440hp. Looks nice and it looks like he does some good work. I am just suprised I have never seen it before. You would think somebody that into turbo dodges would atleast been known over on www.turbododge.com.

And how do you propose to get all that power to the ground. That thing would more likely be in the 12's if he is lucky....

Not possible, his rods would bend under that kind of pressure.
He's not running stock internals though...

Shrug.. I've heard of 24lbs of boost, just add 8. :p

I had a Daytona w/ the 2.2 turbo. that was a fun little car, till I smacked it into a deer. Oh well, insurance paid me more than I paid for the car 5 years and 100,000 km's earlier. :D

There's a handful of Turbo Dodges in the 10's and even one in the 9's, it's possible.
