Thumbs up The AMS Drag Car clone build!

We started working on this puppy a while back.... What you are witnessing below is the complete recreation of our Drag car. Thats right! One of our customers Gabe from Texas shipped his car to us and quite simply said "Im tired of playing around, I want a drag car" no expense is being spared. Gabe is even having us completely replicate our current turbo and intercooler kit. Carbon Everywhere. You name it, its being done. Looks like we are going to have two 8 sec cars in our stable in the months to come!

Here Are some pics of the progress of this insane build

That looks like another sweet build...though I have to say I think the NOS wrap looks a tad better than the blue painter's tape!

One of the coolest things about this build is that the head technician behind the build is none other that the driver of the worlds quickest EVO VIII. Mr Eric Jones is the man behind this build along with Sean, Matt and a bunch of qualified hands here at AMS.
