one sick car craig

[AussieJeepBasher]

should have just bought a Nelson Racing engine

[laurence265]

with enough money, anything is possible, but why? the amount of money this guy spent on a commodore he could have bought a ferrari or a house, alot of money spent to see numbers on a screen.

110grand intercooler???? LMFAOOO hahahahahahaha

[v8superstars]

@kidnamedcal

Umm no mate... i work in the factory next door to Craig. And have no idea where you got that fiqure for the intercooler.

The current engine is the LSX 427 with twin Garrets (7.0L) which its full build cost was $150,000.

I can tell you now he hasn't spent THAT MUCH LOL!

I wish i'd dragged the video camera out and filmed this, I elected to take still shots instead. I'm in the video towards the end in the gray shirt. :)

[boost4longtime]

he did have to spend a bit of cash after a fuel line let go and the whole engine bay was on fire

[vxnice]

is it true he spent 600 grand on the engine ?

[TARBABY71]

yeah,,it was built by Santa,,,with the Easter Bunny handing him tools,,,Think about it

[bnz500]

lol

[kidnamedcal]

He has spent close to 600 grand on the car howeveer that was not all on the one engine, the car has had 3 or 4 completely custom set ups done so that includes all of these, however, the company that has done the work, (horsepower factory on the most recent engine) gives it to him for a little cheaper than it would seem to cost, because the company itself pays for some of the stuff, and claims the research and development as a tax deduction, which lets them sponsor cars like this almost for free.

[kidnamedcal]

the total build is worth over 500 grand, but it that includes the intercooler which was "worth" 110 grand, which basically employed an engineer and fabricator for an entire year to make it, plus the 500 plus grand is for the last 4 engines that have been in the car, i dont think hes paid that much though, a lot of it would have been done through sponsorship by HPF and i think CAPA who did the first engine build.

[vxnice]

LOL i dont think he paid too much LOL 500 grand is a fucken nice house and i dont care if the tunner told me, "pay me 500 grand and you will get 4000RWKW i would tell him where to go.The power his puting out isnt a joke but how much he paid is a joke

[kidnamedcal]

he already has a nice house, and a Ferrari, this is more of just a toy, just to see how much power you can get from a street car, its not usable, and its more money than i could ever afford on a car, but fuck me if it wouldn't be fun to drive.

[vxnice]

if his got that much cash then thats alright lol yeah id like to think iam a good skill full driver but i think i would really kill me self behind the wheel of that monster lol

[kidnamedcal]

Haha yeh, its hard to comprehend how hard it would be to keep in a straight line..

I reckon good on him though, if i did have the money i would rather spend it on building the most powerful street car in the country if not the world then buy something stupid like a really expensive watch or something.. its only a waste of money if you cant afford it.

[azerthiz]
