Hell yeah!!! In the parking lot - I was standing out having a smoke watching people walk by and stop and stare; climb over the hood etc to check it out - LOLOLOL.

It drives great - we just popped the JB Weld oil seal when we were having too much fun; and it is getting fuel starved in higher RPM - so need to find an upgraded fuel pump.
