A while back the Virus was described as the Millennium Falcon of Firebirds. Han Solo: "I've made a lot of special modifications myself. She'* the fastest ship in the galaxy. Watch this!" (Engages hyperdrive... nothing happens.) Princess Leia: "Watch what?" Han: "I thought I had that thing fixed!"

Yeah, I remeber seeing that project a whiiile back. Their old site had pics of the build up too. They used L67 connecting rods which were polished/lightened with aftermarket pistons.
