The blue one was basically full weight. This RS is pretty well stripped. Its about 350 pounds lighter and counting. I have a few things left to do. Weight should be around 2700 here in the next week or two. I'll weight it digitally when I'm done.

Damn, son, I figure I won't ask you what you've taken out, but what's left?

Good luck on your goal what ever it is. I would be nice to see a stock turbo IX in the 10's.

Yeah, I'm hoping for 10's. The car should be able to do it. Just going to require the perfect pass I think. Time will tell. The car couldn't be at a better place to get freshened up. Its at USPMOTORSPORTS and should be ready in about two weeks. Shep is doing the trans and tc. Its off to the track then.


WOT- As for octane, I'm running Sunoco Maxima 116. Very close specs to C16, but lower spec density Also readily available.

4G63lover- 60's are going to be much better I hope. The plans are for 1.4's, 1.5's shouldn't be a problem at all, but I'm thinking I will need a 1.4 for a 10 sec pass.
