The douglas rims for the paddles are the same bolt pattern as the stang so....I call this urban assault mode.

First trip out to the desert was to Ocotillo Wells with some dirt tires on the back. It made it a couple hours before the chain let go in a big way. I was coming back into camp on an access road rolled into it in 3rd and the second it hit 5lbs of boost, brrrrrrrrraaaaaAAAAAAA ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-kAAAAAaaaaa....(that the 11,000rpm rev limiter) I looked in the mirror and saw the chain dancing in the sand like a snake. Short lived weekend. It wiped out the sprocket and peel the chain guard like a banana. THANKFULLY though, the gaurd did its job and kept it from slapping the tank. New chain should be here this week. Then its time to take it out to Glamis and give it hell! This thing is and absolute BEAST! On the test ride when I went to buy it, the owner took me out on the street around his place, its border line out of control. It hangs the front end almost at will. 220hp in a 1000lb car is a beautiful thing!

If your not married and don't have kids somewhere in this world, then who cares. What good is a house when it's empty.

That thing looks awesome... wonder if you could get it street legal... hmmm :D

Yes, you can make it street legal. My father in law did, but his wasn't half as nice as this one.

Cali is obviously nazi's about the legalities of certain cars HOWEVER, there are ALOT of guys in AZ that have road legal buggies and rails. The big ticket things are windshield and front brakes. This car is built for the dunes so there are no front brakes but the paddles have enough grip to haul it down pretty good. With one disc and dual piston caliper it will still lock the back up. You gotta be on your toes in the hardpack dirt b/c the braking is dimished quite a bit but it will still eat up bumps like no other! The first time out I was bracing myself when I THOUGHT I was coming in too into a big dip about 2' deep....it rolled through it like it wasn't even there. If someone on a fourwheeler went through it at the speed I was going, they woulda been bucked like a bullrider at the 8 sec mark. Its crazy amounts of fun
