Sounds nuts in the dyno vid. Looks like the entire building is shaking near the end.

Looks like it took some major firewall surgery to make it fit

You could do surgery to my firewall all day long to make that beast fit!
Then i would have to rob banks to do my rebuilds though...

It has a very incredibly unique sound compared to other cars--it's almost like an F1. A proper full length video around the track would be appreciated.

Thank you everyone for your comments.

This was its very first day at the track. We are extremely happy with its "off the trailer" performance.

We will put up more videos soon, and maybe pictures of the build process from the last 12 months......

Thanks again

that was the ground shaking under the building- from fear of that monster driving on it

Thanks for the feed back everyone, I promise I will put up more pictures and videos soon!!!!
Including ones of the engine being built - which is more like an Animal Style from In & Out. Also, as I mentioned we would love to have it on display at Seven Stock, does anyone here have direct contact details for the organizer of the event?
thanks
Sarah

When it comes time to post the real information would you please contact a Moderator for starting a limited participation thread?

This could be an interesting option.
I'm eagerly waiting to read some data and specs, especially about the reasons behind the various solutions. A 4 rotor out of 13b parts is a mad build. didn't scoot use 12a parts for their rx7?
