Wow, that kicks ass man... tubular's FTW!

Might I ask why the front suspension rides so freaking high in that one pic though?

EDIT: Ahh, it might be the lack of engine/trans in the car.... answered my own question

No, that's how all New Edge GTs come from the factory.

I'm thinking that engine failure didn't sound real good when it happened...

Either way, good deal.

Look at the deck of the block how rusty it is.
That block has been exposed to the elements so what you see is not indicative of how it looked when it was opened up.
It's merely to show you the damage a dropped valve can create.

Probably a broken spring and/or valve retainer.
