Love it!

6.09 and 123 mph starting in 2`nd gear and missing a gearshift. With only 24 psi of boost down from 42 psi.

This will be one fast car for sure!

Best rgs

I thought it sounded like a sick V8 until I saw this version- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO8XHoRX_f4&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO8XHoRX_f4&feature=related)

Now that sounds proper!

I had the pleasure of meeting Mike Kristen and his crew at Mike's shop in Penrith, Australia (Custom Bugs & Buses) a couple of years ago. Here is some related text and photos:

Mike and the bunch at his place were great. I spent a few hours at CBB checking out the cars and talking to Mike, Ryan, Matt, Chris, Russell, and others - wish I'd have had a lot more time there, as hanging out with the Late Shifters was way cool. Thanks, guys!

If I recall everything correctly, Mike's Ghia is running a methanol injected, twin Autorotor blown, Component Development headed, 2.7 liter motor with a Mendeola behind it. The car was purchased, incomplete, from Puerto Rico where used to have a crazy, clown-themed "Xtreme" paint scheme. Mike and his guys have done a ton of work on the car to bring it to the point that it is now, and it shows.
