if you dont know the story, dont speculate. let the past, be the past.  
ive met eddie, hes a good guy, builds top notch machines, and drives them. as ive said on here before, i met him in orlando at war of the imports, where he drove the car from NYC to orlando to run it, and drove it home.  
ive got a picture of the door of the car, signed by him with some lamin-x covering it… pretty cool.

MOUNT VERNON: STOLEN PORSCHE RING – A race car driver was among three Mount Vernon businessmen arrested over the weekend on charges related to auto theft, the Westchester County district attorney’s office said yesterday. District Attorney Jeanine F. Pirro said Eddie Bello, 35, a drag racer of Porsches, stocked Porsche engine parts with defaced vehicle identification numbers at his auto body shop, while two other repair shop owners had parts and entire cars – including Porsches – that appeared to be stolen.

this was 8 1/2 years ago.

That’s Eddie Bello. Joe Gigs aka “porschemaster” knows him personally. They are actually best friends. Joe helped him build the entire car.

It’s a Porsche with a built G50/52 that’s holding twice it’s rated torque capacity for ~220mph runs at events like the Texas Mile. It’s not a drag transmission by any means and is not geared as such.

I posted about this car awhile back. Eddie is cool shit, far nicer than most other “big name” tuners I’ve met. Really knows his shit when it comes to the old M series aircooled motors.

That car is nuts and that Eddie Bello guy is somewhat of a legend, for both good and bad reasons. There was a huge discussion about his arrest on Honda-Tech… seems like a wrong people/ wrong place/ wrong time kinda thing.
