I saw this build for sale when I was thinking about doing a conversion myself or going for the 392. At $125K no regrets. But I just noticed RacerX did a video review of the same car, so still available.

It's interesting to see how hard it is for RacerX to control it under boost. It's like he's 60% scared and 40% loving it. Roasting 37s from maybe 45 mph...Makes me feel a lot better about my 392 on order. I certainly appreciate the R&D that's gone into the car. No 2-hi option, much more stable ride from what I can tell, frame reinforcements, tested architecture, factory warranty, etc. I need this thing to last a long time...

Just ask @cosine he knows!
Damn, serious power there, looks like it's going to take quite a bit more work to get it safe on the streets when you get on it though :(

Something seriously wrong with it. He is on it and cars are passing him.

IMO it's a useless vehicle, the guy looks terrified when he nails it due to the inability of the jeep to grab the road when he punches it.... basically a death trap. What's the point of all that power if you can't use it? Or enjoy it?

Just my opinion....

RacerX needs to stick to cars. He knows very little about a Rubi. Those aren't beadlock wheels. "Custom" this and that.....NO....it is just aftermarket, not custom. Custom dash, that's just the stock red dash. "If you take your doors off, you can control the windows from here"....ummmmm, doors off means no windows. And that front bumper.....:puke:

It really seems like he is INDUCING the sketchy driving when under boost. It looks like it rocks back and forth after he moves the steering wheel.

Yeah I noticed a couple of those. Unless the windows can roll down remotely while they're hanging in your garage...worth a try I guess.
