Bent all the exhaust valves first time out. Theres a good reason why there is no footage of an nre car running a serious number at the track. Apart from fbomb, with 1500hp and struggling to get into the 9s. Not hating, just saying it as it is. Yep...NRE make **** look pretty, if i wanted power, Proline is where i would end up..

If it is... please let us know what its having done. eg driveline, handling etc. Its probably the boldest thing since ITSWAR, if not bigger.
