      It's awesome Cleetus gives him the praise he deserves cuz he put in a ton of work into that car and not just in this latest turbo setup. Working in that shop by himself probably most the time. And building his own car probably after hours or whenever he had spare time. It's always cool to see someone's hard work paid off. Hopefully they don't break for awhile and they can just have fun with them!

They're focusing more now on their fastest cars, which all have the 427 cause it makes a ton of power and is easy enough to install.
