Not sure really Martin i know nothing about these all i know is that it was built by 2 blokes for my dad, 1 of them has been building and designing hot rods for over 30+ years and the other one builds fighter helicoptors for the Army... and that was the out come, it sounds awesome and i havent yet been for a drive but dad said its shit of a shuvel as its been tuned

Its alot better in the flesh, im valeting it soon so once he drops it over to me i'll clean it and will be able to have alot more pictures and close up for you lot...
