Thanks man, that tunnel is my fav! Sorry if I got you with a loud pull, it was directed towards you.

haha no its cool man i would of did the same thing if I had some room its all fun. Nah srt-4's are junk. Sold my evo so i can get some cash in the bank and have no bills. I got the srt-4 cause I no I can make money off of it. I got it for a real good price. It has a 30r and all bolt-ons so its actually pretty fun to drive but I still love my evo more even though it was slower lol.

nahh it should be around 400whp it pulls pretty decent since it is so light I think it weighs around 2900lbs. Its so annoying not having traction in first and second gear though. Ive been modding the bike so maybe i could keep up with Dan for 2 gears lol. I am confused with what I want next its either an evo z06 viper or if i get a real good job when I graduate a lambo lol. The girl wants a ring so its putting a damper on the toys. We will see I guess. The pics you sent me of your evo are sick love the rims.

I know that's what your shooting for with the build, I'd have to think it's 5-6 seconds a lap faster than your RR IX was based on tires, suspension & downforce, not even counting the motor!

Maybe with you or Jermey driving .

It's tough to find time out there on such a short track....the next step is flat out coming out of 7 to 10 but that takes some intestinal fortitude.

So I went to C&G today to get the car weighed and cross/cornered. They got the cross weight within 2 lbs! The car is about 100 lbs heavier than I thought it would be, coming in at 2950 dry. Good thing is that now that the weight is established I know that the car can be tuned to about 380 hp with my fat butt in it and a 1/4 tank of gas to make competition weight.

Maybe Jermey will sell me his Green when he goes to bigger turbo!

Seems like it's hard to get weight out of these cars. Lots of heavy stuff like the motor need to stay.

Hey goforward who and where is C&G? I would like to get my car corner weighted once I get the new coilovers on. Do they do competition alignment?

I was surprised....there was alot stuff cut out of that car; but I was looking at a similar build in the motorsports section that CF doors/hood/trunk/and lexan and it tipped the scales at ~2800 lbs, so I guess it's not too far off.

Plus, I didn't account for the 50 pounds of electrical wire, zip ties, and electrical tape that Mike had to use in order to re-wire the car
