About this Previous Vehicle:

I bought this when I was 19. I learned how to build and race cars with this one. I went through 2 shortblocks, 4 turbos, 2 transmissions, 3 camshafts, and 2 sets of heads, but I did it all myself, and I did it over a span of 8 years. There was a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in this car.

The 550 hp is rated at the wheels, that space won't let me put letters into it!
