Check this out, there's a small english section on the bottom right and you can watch a video at least. This guy took the car to Nevada for the Silver State Classic in the unlimited class. His main competitor was a '96 Camaro, you'll have to watch the video to see who won :burnout:

Big HP numbers aren't all what they crack up to be. Nice car though

I think he probalby slowed down too much in the "narrows" due to inexperience on the course, it probably handles just as well as that Camaro so I think he could have won it. I'd like to see that car in person though, maybe I can get some ideas :)
