A regular to both the dragstrip and the local road course, we're sure Adam does his fare share of stomping. He's currently nearing the 10 second range in the 1/4 mile - considering Adam estimates he could replicate this entire car for about $5k that's a pretty amazing feat. He also keeps good karma flowing his way as an instructor of road racing. It seems everything that Jabaay has done is in fun's best interest. Whether you like the car or not, there's no denying it would be a blast to drive. And whether you like the car or not, there's no denying that Adam Jabaay will continue to have a blast while driving it.
