Zen? Psh please if you wan't zen go park the damn thing outside a Buddhist temple and appreciate how at one with the environment it is while it isn't running. I love the japanese approach I see it as 2 guys in the car going for a drive

Driver: Ahh oh yeah feel that?

Passenger: what? this isn't much faster than my HR.

Driver: no no your supposed to be appreciating the ZEN

Passenger: OH sorry i didn't realize that, well you do have a nice interior

Either way this has been a fantastic build so far.

I say you ship that car out here, let us build a motor and supercharger for you, and let's see what this puppy can do! I know you want this car to be different, and I promise you, I have enough ideas in my head to make it different...

Real Mothra isn't very "zen"

I would like to see it done right, all blown out. New low compression pistons then have Stillen do up a custom super charger kit, put up some big numbers, and finally just because you can feed her a bottle.

Someone at Baker-Jackson should take Stillen up on this. Huge marketing potential, guys. The result could easily wind up in Road & Track.

Well?
