Message They were 'quick', but not overly fast. They suffered from weak headgaskets and top halves, as I found out a couple times. Any upgrades at all required a cosmetic head gasket.
They were fun little cars, though - neat to drive. If built right, they could haul....but the money to get you there and keep you on the road was incredible. Incredibly high.
