Wow! Amazing craftsmanship! I know what goes into a build like that, and I am sure it would cost much more to duplicate. I hate to think about how much time was spent on the build. The electronics alone would cost more that some cars out there. Beautiful car!

I think this is a great combination with what should be far lower operating costs than Porsche powered car. The Audi 4 valve per cylinder V8 is super durable, FITS (at least with a bunch of fabrication) and is relatively cheap (the engine, not the fabrication). All the wear items will be off the shelf Porsche or Audi parts. The video really shows the potential. It may not have the all out power of a LS V8 powered car like the Corvette in the video, but the chassis makes up for it. I just had to watch to whole video to see how long it would take you to get in front of the Corvette and get far enough ahead so that he couldn't pass on the long straight. Well done.

The RPM signal seemed to be dropping out in the data. Do you know what was causing that?
