holy hell that's a good spec

personally i prefer the standard Tuatara design over the Striker
 
No offense, guys, I know many here are fans... But that rear end is so busy, if you told me it was a Mansory kit I'd believe you.

These are circa 2012/2013 Jason Castriota and I'm TELLING you these are rare, I found out yesterday and I'm a little (less) nutty about them . This is the track package for the 2011 debut SSC North America Tuatara.

They eventually got there. -And remember Jason is ex Pininfarina.
I much prefer this to the final Tuatara form. Great find!
 
Even after everything that's happened what Larry has done is incredibly impressive. Time I looked at this car in depth again. Specifically the Striker.
 
What is the maximum rpm of this car? I know, SSC's own stated value is 8800 rpm, but Nelson Racing Engines says 8400 rpm in his reply to an Instagram user. I don't understand whether this is just the maximum boost value or the maximum rpm of the engine can do. Do you have any information about this?

Nice little guide. A couple of minor mistakes but that's fair enough.

Ultimately irrespective of 10/10/2020 Dr Larry Caplin took his OWN bought and paid for SSC Tuatara to 295MPH in under 2.3 Miles and 45.6 seconds with a rubbish start.

I respect that individually, you may not and that's fine.
