HAHAHA ... too right, what a mess! The braided lines look braided to each other. And you can see some of the wiring by the strut brace, no loom, no zip ties, it's just kinda chillin out in the open. Speaking of the strut brace, what's up with that thing? It looks like bits from an old erector set.

Good luck drag racing that thing without a battery box ... not happening at any tracks by me. Speaking of track rules ... a full interior with no roll cage = 12.00 second timeslips. 11.99's = get a cage or go home

And the narrator ... anybody wanna buy a used car? I know where you can get a good deal on a missabeeshee.

Anyway, I wish them luck ... it looks like they're gonna need it.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only who thought that thing was a plumbing/electrical nightmare. A little forethought goes a long way in making that stuff look nice.

That inlet pipe looks like the upper IC pipe blew off and turned 90 degrees through the hood.

It may make power but, it looks ghetto as hell.

I'll just put this here, that there, drape some hoses across this. Oh, There's more stuff to go in here. We'll just start stacking it up.

My question is why the hell they didnt turn the turbo around so they could have the air coming in through the front and not have to run that pertarted snorkel, and have that crazy 70 degree turn in the downpipe inches after the exhaust side of the turbo....

"It's a street driven car"

With that big stupid a*s intake pipe poking out of the hood?

I can't wait to see how much line of site is taken up by that thing with a filter on it. They'll have to do a RHD conversion just to be able to drive it.

That looks really, really , hard to work on with all that crap in the way. Just changing the plugs would take alone an hour to get rid of all that stuff in the way.

I am interested in what it can do or what kind of numbers it has put down. That is one massive intercooler to say the least.

It looks very interesting. But they still have to pruve themselves on the track and the reliability on the street.

The snorkle reminds me of those exhaust ports on big ships. Like the ones Popeye cartoon the Bluto would shove Olive Oil into. (I know, very random)

If their fabrication is better than their narrating skill this car might be a killer.
