This is sweet...makes me rethink my stance on the xB2.
Story first appeared back in May, but this link has a video clip.

I apolgize in advance if this is a repost..I tried doing a quick forum search and didn't see anything recent. Please don't flame.

 

This was the xB they used in the Gumball 3000 this year. They have a bunch of detail and video of it on the Gumball 3000 website. The crew did a bunch of blog stuff and video.

 

Somebody sent me an e-mail last night of the same video Can't watch it to many times..

 

Seems like it took them a bit to get it sideways.

 

Man they sure tortured that turbo.......cool video.

 

yea we heard about this xB awhile back but I never saw the new vid.

Enjoy!

 

how much did they spend to do

 

That number isn't going to be thrown out like that, just a lot of $$$. If you are serious of getting it done then probably contacting Papakis Racing will get you the info you want. Good luck!

 

ya ur right i might ask him but i relly do want that but i think i might wait a little longer so i could sell my house first and maybe the 240sx
thanks

 

papadakis did tanner foust's tc too....i think he mention something about a quarter of a million dollar race car in the beginning...that's pretty steep though i'd guess.
