Yes. The car is a driveable show car, and an example of one man's personal tastes.
It's totally function-less as a performance automobile. You can't keep the tires stuck to the ground anywhere above 1/2 throttle, and Jeff (the owner) said it burns fuel like a cruise ship
But let's face it- polished Kirkhams, by their nature, are already "over the top" car-art to begin with. It makes perfect sense (to me) to combine the most over the top, polished aluminum car-art engine you can find, with your polished, billet suspended, over the top car-art Kirkham roadster...
To me, it's a perfect marriage. Tastefully done, well engineered, and totally over the top...
Completely impractical, ridiculously expensive, and painfully obnoxious. I love it. {applause}
