Saw this thing in person for the first time this week, saw it a few times actually, and it is amazing. Simply amazing.

I am also getting NT05R’s soon, my 555R’s are shot and don’t hook for shit, I spun third on the highway right after that shitty romp i gave you.

Mike said it best though, traction was not made for burnouts, and burnouts are what counts.

I know he did, that is why I found it funny.  
The article stated he knew the rims and ecu alone were worth $4k, so how did he think the rest of the project cost $12k? The seats were $2k, leaving $10k for the rest. Doing this math you run into a negative quiet quickly.
