well that is not what i was told when i spent 8 hours up there the other day!
he was telling us how is had this crazy engine in it and the only 2 times he took it out a) the first time he gave it a boot and the front bar ripped off and he ran over it, got that all fixed, then the 2nd time the rear wing came off as this thing has over 300kw at teh front wheels!
then it went for a dyno run and they f***ed it and spat part of the engine throught the bonnet and since then it has been locked away as you say

Who gives a rats? It's arguing for the sake of arguing. If you know you're right and someone else is wrong, say it then be done with it. No need to stress when you obviously have no chance of changing their mind.

Sorry to bring up old news but i had a chat with Tony about this car and right now it is BONE STOCK. But both sides of your story's were correct when the car was originally released it was stock aside from the obvious install. When the car was featured in the magazine there was huge interest and everyone wanted to see the car so tony decided to re-release it with a highpowered engine (Nos, Turbo ect...) And not long after this was done he was driving down the highway when the front bar fell off and he ran over it and mulched it. He got it fixed and not long after he was driving the car down the street when the engine blew severely. He then decided to throw the complete stock setup back into and and there it has sat at the shop ever since
Problem solved
