It is a torque monster and hooks up in dirt. This car takes a driver that is brave and likes to set off car alarms. It's a little bounce but most T-buckets with buggy springs are. Steering has to be timed carefully when driving because of riding so far back. Super fun to drive. Hard to take anywhere without people trying to take pictures and run you off the road to talk and see the car. Will foot brake the 12's the way it sets. With line lock and a brake would make a difference in the quarter but built for the street and to turn heads. Buyer is responsible for pick up and or delivery.
