I recall talking to the two gents who first bought it when we were waiting for our planes out of SLC...they really thought they knew everything there was to know about the Kirkhams (I pretty much passed myself off as just an attendee to the open house).

I didn't mention that Sammich and I had to each lift one side of the hood to get it off the body. Given the heft, I'm thinking a 1,000 hp ought to produce the performance of a modern GM V6 in this thing.

Don't get me wrong...assolutely stunning to look at.

1 of 12? LMFAO

OK that explains the cost of the recommendation: TWO 500 HP Roushes ($15K each) and a Toploader = $33K.
