Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

I don't know if anyone else here has ever come across a guy called Stav from the now non-existent Fast Car magazine. The guy is a bit opinionated but he builds ridiculous cars. My friend with the 500bhp R32 Skyline GTR bought that car from Stav, and Stav is now selling his latest project:

Right, so last time it made 440bhp at 2psi boost, and 465lbft at
4.5psi boost. It was very fast. It's now running 8-9psi. It's a whole lot faster. Option 1- Back to the dyno and get a lovely
500bhp+ number for everyone to go 'ooooh' over, but it's meaningless
really, and tbh wouldn't make it sound much better than later E55
Kompressors, and was already pretty sure it was quicker than one of
them even at the lower boost. Option 2 it is then, get the expensive
Racelogic timing gear out and see what it REALLY does. First two
gears, even in the stone dry, it just smokes the tyres as soon as you
boot it, so impossible to get any real timing from that, which was a
shame. BUT 3rd gear on it's ok, and VERY fast indeed. 60-100mph
times... Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 4.6sec. Ferrari F430 4.7sec
Audi R8 V10 4.8sec Nissan GTR 5sec E60 M5 5.1sec C63 AMG 5.3sec E55
AMG Kompressor 5.8sec Golf R32 9.1sec This low budget home brew
Mercedes?- 4.4sec (no gearchange needed btw). Also, looking at the
datalogging, I did one accidental 60-120mph time. It wasn't on one of
the faster runs, so would likely take about 4 tenths off it with a
perfect run, but was 8.4seconds. Even that far from good run was
2.4sec faster than the later supercharged E55 AMG Kompressors, and as a comparison to a 'hot hatch', 21seconds faster than a Mini Cooper S
lol. Only had 5/6 attempts, but the 60-100 was certainly backed up,
rather than a fluke/mistake run... timing1.jpg timing3.jpg

wondered how it sounded from outside, so a mate filmed a few little
clips. Sounds decent. Quiet enough to pass any trackday noise test
easily too... https://youtu.be/b5SMovRDhuc
And that's about it. It's
been decided, as it's proven everything that it was set out to, and
hardly gets used, that it's being sold. If anyone wants an
absolutely bananas car for very little money, watch this space as I'll
be putting a for sale ad up soon..
