A actually remarkable job two additional videos; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SgmlpaVjok, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOIesFaXB2w.

They should be super proud of what they accomplished.

Holy cow that is impressive!  I would love to see the total $ spent on this little caper...For me the best part is that 6 speed manual and how they can cruise @ 130 MPH at lowish revs, incredible.
