Yes they are. I am a friend of David's as he is from Richmond, Va. He has spent a lot of years getting to that goal. He previously had a 98 Formula with a very similar set up that was making 995 rwhp through a 6 speed. In the fall of 06, he had an accident at the track when he hit a slick spot doing 135 mph.

Over the fall of 06 he got another 98, but this time a friends WS6 and he made the transformation and went with an auto this time. he has changed a few things since the MightyMouse 1 car, but pretty similar. He has driven the car to the LSX Shootout in Memphis in 07 and 08 and won his class and driven back. Nothing like driving 1300 miles and running 9.0's.

That car is a true street car, full weight,interior and he drives it everyday(when he is not driving his modified Typhoon which is for sale BTW)

Right......:poke: A car that run 8's in the 1/4 and drove to and from the track is a POS:shrug:

I guess it would only be worthy if it had a Blue Oval on it.....at least then it would have the problem circled right?:rockon::coolman::kaboom:
