I don't know why I care but ours has had plenty of work done on it and has undergone many changes. I am not sure what the point is when you buy a purpose built, factory race car, authorized by NHRA to run in stock eliminator. Seems to me for one hundred grand it better be fast out of the box but you must keep working on it or the field will pass you by
I am not sure who I would believe when they say it is "untouched" - is that worth bragging about? or is it just a head game?
Ever heard the old story about a guy telling tech "I know that guy is cheating" tech said "how do you know?" the guy said "because I am and he is faster than me"
If 000 is "untouched" it is real fast - because we have been working our butts off to be as fast as we are
I think everybody expected way too much out of these V10s - they are quite a piece but nothing like the Fords - they are unreal with the blower and some of the NA cars are stupid fast
It really is not worth talking about - racers do not usually tell everybody everything when they are trying to out run you
