There is a LOT of stuff in that car for the set up IE:Water tank,cage,chute, turbo's and piping EVERYWHERE! But realisticly I feel its not something to go get groceries in. But closer to a street car than say Serious HP's supra was.

There have been cars that stretch the definition of street car competing at TI since the beginning. But none of them dominated like the LMR vette did which is the real reason people are butthurt now. Honestly I don't believe there is anything in the rules defining anything that the car needs to have or not have to compete. Someone could bring an X275 car out if they wanted to. It is changing things but a kick *** event like this is going to draw all kinds of cars and as this happens the event will evolve to adapt.

This isn't drag racing. There is not a sanctioning body defining what can run and can't. In the future, maybe, but until the rules are in place, I don't see the point of people bitchin just to bitch. Run what you brung.
Congrats to Joel, Steven, and Josh. You guys wiped the floor with that car, and glad to see it finally roll out like Joel wanted it to.
