Fastest street car in the burg

He's a chassis builder and does all his own motor and trans work, almost everything on the car was donated. Not saying the car was cheap, but didnt cost as much to build as you would think.

It takes more than just money if you turn your own wrenches and do your own tuning.

Is Lutz just an owner/driver with a full pit crew, tuning guy, chassis guy...etc?

Edit: Responded the same time as black vert

I just meant when it comes down to it, it just takes money. You can pay for everything and just drive the car, hell you can pay someone to drive the car for you. Anyone can take 100g plus and run drag week or SSO class

What fun is that?, then you have no story to tell.
"man that looked like it was tough shoe-horning that turbo in there", "I don't know, I paid someone to do that"- BORING. Thats also the reason, most guys, yes guys, can't even change a tire when its flat.

dude I am the last person to pay some one to do something, I do all my own work. I hate when someone buys some ones else's build. that was just a general stmt above. I wouldn't even be into cars if I didn't do it myself, there is no reward

Don't take it that way, was not aimed at you, just a general observation.

since AltoonaRacerwon't tell you about it, i will. its a 1989 K-car with a 2.2L that has a turbo on it from my Kenworth. has 2 stages of nitrous just to get the turbo spooled up at the line. it should be one of the fastest cars around!
