What a total waste of time and money. Could have been an entertaining car if he'd kept the ride height sensible. ::)

I like the idea of chucking that engine in, but why mess with the car? And then fit an awful spoiler :-\ :-\ ::) ::)

It's actually got hydraulic suspension (like they have on all the cars in the Fast & Furious films and stupid muisic videos), so the ride height will be fully adjustable at each wheel from the driver's seat.  The ride height shown in the pics, would be when the system is fully lowered for show purposes only, and the car couldn't be driven like that.
