Your bold title begs jestful criticism:

1> "Fast" is a relative term. For me it starts in the 12's. If you get there, it can be called a fast car. That's generally where the "big boys" of production cars start.

2> "Reliable" is a term that requires a lengthy real-world test of the product. Since you just posted this, I don't think that can be said with 100% certainty, yet.

You did do it cheap though. Congrats on the do-it-yourselfer. Definitely not something I'd have the knowledge or the ***** to do.
