Hell no, can't believe that everybody doesn't complain about about what they get from STRADA. HIS WORK IS THE WORST THERE IS. On the other hand you have franks custom fiberglass who makes Killer stuff. Very happy with Frank. As for Strada, I'm not done with them yet. These things take time. Hi Jay!

Yes, with the current motor we have out of out Hotrod car unchanged it should go high 6's. Then try to make more power and go mid 6's.

Not really, there's only three or four rwd hondas in the world similar to this. And there all different bodies/chassis and i have not spoken to them. Half aren't done anyway. No more than 2000lbs would be nice. We will see.

Why not? It's a proven platform with numerous part options on the market. Most of the fast turbo cars in a Honda platform are B-series.

Stop being so helpful. People sometimes need to learn the hard way.

Looks good Steve. The chassis guy is making good progress. Is he doing it all by himself?
