We all know show cars are a lot of work. Luke Curd can confirm this fact as he’s owned a couple in his time, including this fine piece of artwork you see here. His first show car was a completed project of the same model that he had bought from a friend. It was nice and all but Luke wanted a show car that was packed full of his own influences. It had to be another wagon because Luke liked the size of the automotive canvas and to him; nothing looks tougher than a modified wagon. He browsed the internet for a few weeks before finding this one which had a good body and was running right. Happy as can be, Luke traded his dollars and began planning.
Hi-Torque Performance was host to a crowd of over seven hundred who turned up to see the spectacle of a combined power of over 16,000 wheel horsepower on their dyno. That’s right, 16,000 horsepower. With prize money of $2,000 for highest power and $1,000 for closest prediction of power output, or ‘dial-in’, entrants were giving it their all. Monster Energy Drinks sponsored the event and provided a few thousand cans to any and all; the day ran from 3pm late into the night, with the final car coming off the rollers around 10pm, and no shortage of spectators remaining.
