    370fps! 250-0 in ten seconds! I'm glad I don't have one.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    That was the last project for Ferdinand Piech before he got the boot at Volkswagen. His vision was a NO compromise super car. PERIOD!
