Too bad they didnt get to do some lap time at the track. But way better review than the other reviewer from drive

I'd want my check engine light off and tire pressure sensors working right.

I'm curious about why the CEL was on but also, I think it's a bit stupid to continue increasing the power without first addressing the heat issues. They had the same heat issues when Drive reviewed it and it seems like it makes even more power now.
If I'm wrong, correct me. |

Its probably because its a street car with occasional pulls. But reliablity should be priority

They have taken it to the track. My friend has seen it a couple time. He said the car is pretty sick, just breaks down a lot

Reliability should be a priority but this is their R&D car and it's nice to see how far they can push the platform. I'm sure any 300whp Crawford kit would be buttoned up and quality.
Keeping this car on the ragged edge is its purpose for now... |

I'm really surprised that the Crawford guys haven't modded the front bumper or hood at all to allow more airflow. It must be an oven in the engine bay. |

If I get a large chunk of money, I will send my car to them for something a bit more mild.
This car is amazing!

I love how people see a video with a car that has gone through more than one motor, has a check engine light on, overheats, and has run like crap in two big Internet videos now and yet they still want to throw money at Crawford. There are plenty of better options out there RIGHT NOW to have a better performing car than the Crawford car.
