Has anyone seen the G-force 'CUDA move under it's own power?  Is there any video or Eye witnesses?  I think the car is cool but pics are hard to come by

It does seem to lean pretty hard in the turns.

Still,  saying that they have the fastest street cuda ever reminds me of the kid  that says he has the fastest car in the school.  They never raced anybody but .......

As far as custom Cudas go that one is my all time favorite. That being said, it's just another custom car, it will be interesting to see what it brings at auction.

That's a self proclaimed title. No way that the fastest, unless it doesnt have to turn. That thing wallows like a C body. And, the tail is too high, so I'm sure the suspension setup is off. Watch the XV motorsports car run around. That is how they should corner. It probably runs real nice in 6th gear on a salt flat when you dont have to worry about acceleration traction or turning. But it will sell I'm sure.  :burnout:

Did you read the part where they claim to have 15,000 Hours into the thing?!?!?!   :screwy:  What did they do you "Book Hours" to figure out the labor costs or something?  That seems like an awful lot of hours to build one car.

With all the hoopla it will certainly be the fastest selling Cuda in the world.

So, is there any ET times?  Seems like a huge claim to make without backing it up.
