Gabe started his project in October 2008, wanting to be able to run at least 10 seconds in the 1/4 mile. As he watched Red Star Motoring race their S2000 and pushing the limits, he decided to make his similar and hoped one day to be racing in the drag scene. He decided to go all out and build the car and keep it street legal. The first time he hit the track, he went 11.34 at 133mph with 640hp. Wanting more, Kings Performance took the car and rebuilt the motor and started racing the car at local events in Florida. The first time to the track they hit 10.0 with 750hp. We changed some small items and tested again with a pass of 9.44 a 150mph. Six months later, Gabe hit a world record with a 8.79 at 158mph; the fastest street legal S2000.
