Except that Mad Max had a roots blower instead of the twin turbo's. I bet this one stands up on two wheels!

Nice use of chrome Eh?

Your right it does have both, not sure why but it gets out of shape really easily about 1/4 of the way down the 1/4 mile at willowbank raceway.
Traction is the biggest problem, yes it does get the front elevated very easily.
