I've seen this car through the past few years and it would be tough to replicate at that price, and anyone that buys it gets to bypass the first couple years teething pains of building a new car!!!

Thanks, Daryl. It's not the prettiest thing in the world, but it's plenty fast and very safe.
Would be a great learning car for Ohio/Loring/Texas/Mojave/El Mirage with only a few
changes needed (larger fuel tank, LSR tires) for Bonneville. We didn't throw money into
anything for purely aesthetic purposes; instead putting our limited budget into a strong
engine and safety equipment that meets and exceeds specs for 200 mph. Pics-

At the Sept. '13 Ohio meet,

this car ran:
167 half mile / 202 mile
161 half mile / 203 mile

There's obviously at least 6 more mph with
current boost levels, with room to expand
from 15 up to 25 psi, adding 250rwhp. I've
bought but not yet installed a 2 stage boost
controller to allow on the fly adjustment.

Added weight above the rear end will also add
significant speed, as we were spinning tires into
3rd. The current tires & rear allow for 238 mph
@ 7k in 4th, while taller 31" GY tires and the
popular .9 3rd-4th swap moves that to 290.

I wholeheartedly believe this current setup has
the potential (with more boost & ballast) to run
220+ in the mile and over 250 on the Salt, maybe
more.

The price is OBO... I forgot to add that in the original title.

There aren't a lot of LSR cars for sale that have been proven
at over 200 mph, let alone at this price. This would be a great
investment for a few people to get into land speed racing, and
without the time and learning curve normally associated with
the first few years.

The car is still for sale. There has been interest, but some inquiring parties felt that the current engine may be more power than they currently want or need... So I will also consider separating the body and drivetrain.
