But power isn't all this car is about. It also has some serious ICE. Just check out the Pioneer Premier KEH-P808 head unit, Pioneer CDX-P50 CD changer, Rockford Fosgate Punch 60 amplifier, 6 1/2-inch front and rear speakers from MB Quart, and stereo wiring from Streetwires.
With custom body mods and high-performance engine tuning, it shouldn't be hard for Martin to maintain his status of being at the top of the import game. It seems that the quote "Success is a journey, not a destination" will be regarded as his winning statement. You just gotta wonder, what's next on the menu for hybrid mods? Only time will tell.
