Nope. Sold it quite some time back... thing guzzles gas because you just can't keep your foot out of it. Every other light some punk kid wanted to race his Monte Carlo or Camaro against it, and I would slaughter them every time. I think I lost maybe a half dozen light-to-light runs in that thing. I don't count the one against former Indiana Pacer Reggie Miller... I was in Broadripple one night and he pulls up next to me in a Ferrari... asks if it was a typhoon and if it was fast. I said yes on both counts, but not as fast as his Ferrari. He said let's see anyhow... and while he did smoke me - at the next light he said that it was damn impressive for a truck.

The thing had so much toque that I would challenge people to stay leaning forward in their seat when I hammered it... only one person ever did. What an awesome ride. The thing wouldn't zip or pull forward like a sports car from launch - it would lunge. It was an awesome feeling - you could feel the thing squat, and it really felt like it jumped forward like a cat or something.

However - the components really couldn't take the beating that the engine put out. I destroyed 3 half shafts in 6 months (all on the right side)... twice the cv joints just up and disintigrated under hard load, had to rebuild the turbo once, and tore out two motor mounts. While fun - it was expensive to keep running... so I fixed it up one last time and sold it for 2k more than I had into it. Last I heard - it is still running around Indianapolis, knocking down wanna-be highschoolers and college kids who think their ride is quicker. Even if it lost - it was still hella impressive for a truck.
