Notes from prior owner:

"Review: 464 rwhp / 425 rwtq feels simply amazing. The torque converter and gears give the car awesome off-the-line response and the ProCharger centrifugal blower simply kicks you in the pants from there on. This combination delivers along the entire rpm range. The Predator tuner is a great tool to view, log, and archive operational data.

The best 1/4 mile timeslip so far of 12.226 seconds at 111.73 mph with a 1.821 sec 60 footer was achieved at the Kansas City International Raceway on Nitto 555R 305/45/18 drag radials and 4.10 gears. The temperature was in the high-40's."
