Why is this thread even open still?

Why is this thread even open still?

So that he can get un-banned on October 15th and show us the 20,000 build photos and loads of videos which were shot during all phases of the build, and a 190 minute documentary of the building of the car which was done by a major network for the entire world to enjoy so that everyone can properly understand and appreciate the really true and astounding story and facts about the incredible IAD Land Shark®.

 

[VXR]

Who makes a 190 minute documentary anyway?!

 

[Aggserp4]

Where can I preorder?

 

[Neddo]

Yes my friend, media is evil. Recently I made a thread about concpiracy theories and it was locked down because it was a trainwreck. by evil moderators. /sarcasm

 

[Grandea GTR]

What the hell is this

Weird part of Internet.

Perhaps this is whole fiasco is actually an elaborate marketing scheme?

I think it's working well, because every time I see this ®, I remember of the car and this thread

If you have the ability to put your money where your mouth is, come to Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Oct. 13-15th., and place your bid.... or just stop by to drool all over yourselves.... whatever you prefer....

The car has NEVER been in any magazine, and no story has ever been told regarding the project, with only one exception; I was in an article for the 2011 SEMA Show flyer, where I had authorized SEMA to use one photograph of the car.

I, personally, have well over 20,000 hours invested into the project, and to read the ridiculous nonsense that has been "reported" in the media over the past 7+ years has been quite irritating to say the least.

If anyone would like to really know about the project, I will be posting all the build information after October 15th., when the car is gone from my shop.

24 hours to go. I'm ready.

I did better than 900.

Barrett-Jackson listing of this car:

Lot #744 - The "IAD Land Shark" began life as a Mosler Photon prototype, then immediately became a more-than-7-year R&D project - over 20,000 hours - at Intense Automotive Design (IAD) Research & Development. This vehicle weighs in at 1,741 lbs. dry, has a 6-speed manual transmission and is an extremely rare example of a supercar. No expense was spared on the 401.9ci twin-turbocharged engine, which is an LS-based RHS Tall Deck block capable of 3,000hp at 10,000 rpm.

The chassis was stripped and lightened; mechanical components are all aluminum, titanium or magnesium - only the finest components available were used in the build. Brakes, suspension, transmission, radiator, oil cooler and more have all been replaced by more lightweight versions. All lines in the IAD Land Shark are lightweight XRP braided steel, with AN fittings. Four different fuel tanks exist; currently configured to carry just two at a time. Two 20-lb nitrous bottles provide an 800-hp kick. Custom carbon-fiber seats.

Low mileage; was only driven to a few concours events in California and one trip from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and back. This powerful vehicle is just at home on the street as it is on any road course in the world, and is a car collector's dream car.

**TITLED AS A 2004 MOSLER**

That's just a truncated version of what was posted in the OP.

 

[Eh Team]

Nitrous. In a Mosler. Is this guy living in Need for Speed or something?

 

[AudiMan2011]

Basically just another tuned Mosler MT900 that'll then be put in the back of a garage never to see the light of day like all the other 73,524,918 tuned Moslers.

 

[Darla Starch]

I believe the Devel Sixteen's claims before this.

 

[Obelisk]

So it's just a Mosler, and not something else? Kind of a weak reveal...

 

[RACECAR]

Kinda hard to be impressed when its yet another altered/tuned Mosler MT900 with yet another catchy name (although "Landshark" is original so I'll give them that).

This remains my favorite Mosler:

 

[Famine]

although "Landshark" is original

And ludicrous, given just how quickly a shark would die on land.

That's the "Chase" Daytona Prototype, isn't it? The greenhouse is a little too big to be an MT900.

 

[Panoz]

With the car selling at no reserve, I'm giving it a over-under at a generous $150,000.

That too.

That's kinda the joke

Yes it is the Chase CCE-001

 

[Robin]

Land Shark reminds me too much of Land Wind

So it's going on right now. Is this Barrett Jackson televised?

Yeah, and there's also a stream.

Clicky.
