Every car has its differences so it comes down to who can go fastest untubbed ie: 26X10 or 28X9 well said..... is some 1 going to post up a vid or some pics of this car

well thats what i am saying you can only compare two things when they are similar....just like the ohter thread about dyno figures, you cant compare results if they are achieved in different ways, it is not a true indication of the effort/achievement compared to the trying to do the same with the same style of hardware

Maximum credit to the owner of this thing. I saw it first at the Nats a while back and was blown away by the quality of it... and now it keeps backing it up at the track, while still looking show quality. Alot of dedication, hard work (and money!) has gone into this car. Congrats.

Does it run the Magnums on the back aswell?, if so any photos of it from a side view?, they look hot on the front, looks 10 times better with magnums in race trim than the VX GTS street rims i reckon cheers darren
