I have been fortunate enough to drive quite a few high horsepower cars (600+whp street and race cars, not the exotics at my work) but this one is so smooth. The power comes on strong but smooth (no light switch powerband here) and it continues to pull with ease as high as you want. The transfer to next gear was butter smooth and even with a slow shift the boost was right there in the next gear, with a fast shift it just planted you in the seat. I am impressed to say the least. The car is very streetable but easy mid 9 sec capable with probably high 140 trap speeds at FULL weight with stereo system.
Only problem I had was stalling leaving the shop a few times on the Tilton Carbon/Carbon, but that was my fault as I was being a bit soft on the throttle not keeping the car running with such a lightweight drivetrain. Todd says 40% lighter than stock!!

thanks again Todd.
Not a problem. Belongs in your garage.

Basic Shep tranny. Still retains the stock 4.53 gearing.
