Default Twin turbo wide body sc 430

Does anyone remember this car? Of course you do. That work of art is in one of the car audio mags(cant remember which one.) this month. They said that it's putting down 700 hp. Has anyone else seen the article?

Do a search for twin turbo SC430 and widebody.
I am sure 2 or 3 threads with all the info you want will turn up.

yeah saw the SC430 twin turbo from anderson-audio in an audio-related car magazine also. They featured it but focused more on the ICE rather than the amazing engine hurdling this fine piece of metal with a claimed 700hp.

Can't seem to remember the magazines name either... i think it was like M.E? it stood for something...

Yes doc that would be the one! I was pleasantly surprised to see that work of art in the magazine. That is the wildest and best executed sc 430 out there(imo that is). The body is so clean yet agressive.

I was at the Event , and spoke to the owner. They have gone thru 2 trannys already.Body Mods was all hand made out of aluminium. Roll bar was very cool, and custom Reccaro seats in factory leather.

The article appeared in the August/September issue of ME (Mobile Entertainment) and the owner is listed as Michael Stipes, who apparently doesn't drive it much. "Well actually Mr Stipes, this is the fourth transmission. They just keep going south on us for some odd reason."
