Very cool. Who can translate it. What did they use for the suspension? Inquiring minds need to know.

Oooohhhh I want that like a fat kid wants cake! My kids would NEVER be late to school! And speaking of "school" did you see the nice pass on that blue subie? This van flat EATS RICE!
Love everything about it! What is it about an unexpected (normally slow) vehicle with an absolutely immoral level of power that draws us like a moth to the flame...  angela

Two thoughts: 1) that thing must have some serious horsepower to be able to overcome the gosh-awful aerodynamics and 2) he must have done some serious mods to the chassis and suspension to keep that thing stiff in the turns.

Very awesome.
I loved the setup in the cockpit. Any clue on the type of shifter? The angled PIP was very well done. Also, it sounded as if his clutch was slipping....or was he loosing traction at the wheels?...or?

Who was it who said...
"Aerodynamics is for people who can't build engines." Can' t remember who said that but it REALLY applies to this! The thing has the aerodynamics of a single wide mobile home. angela

With 500+ h.p. I think it's wheel spin.
