Isn't it still up in the Northeast ? Feedback from people who saw it wasn't too encouraging.

I think that'd either be Doug or Russ car? Doug's car used to be in Cali. Had a built motor, lsd/5spd, big Garrett turbo...lots of other custom stuff but from what I hear he never had a good tune for it? I was a bit disappointed when I saw it Ikea a couple years ago to be honest 
The name's Ben: '95 850, m56 w/ gripper lsd, SBC feramic clutch, built '02 RN 2.3L, worked '04 R head, Enem Y21 cams, Precision 5857B, ARD tune, blah blah blah

Doug's car had everything in place to be fast. Just like his 242. Wanted to build it and document it, didn't want to achieve its potential...
I think the 242 has a best of 13.6 at 106 (IIRC, and at lower boost than he ended up running). I think the 850 ran a 14.2 at 105 or something like that. He puts nice cars together, for sure. Just doesn't see them through to their potential He has since moved onto building guitars, and does insane wood working.
