I drove i about 30mins ago and it has a satisfying lope at idle and is not extremely loud. Car feels pretty light from the driver's seat, good stuff.

Hey Keith,
Have y'all put it on the scales yet? I'm curious what the car weighs in it's finished state. Congrats on finishing the project ...or nearly finishing it. I'm sure Matteo will be really stoked once he finally gets his foot in it. Cheers, JZ

HA! I'll be back in the US on Monday. Can't wait to see it/drive it...
Weight... I will guess around 2,350 with half a tank, fluids and roll bar. That should give us a power to weight ratio close to 6.... |

As Keith said the motor was built by Timmins and tuned by Peter Dawe. It has a 993 case, 3.9L displacement, upgraded rods, springs, retainers, solid rockers, ported heads, bigger/lighter valves, ITBS (Jenveys) induction, aggressive cams, Motec M600 ECU. Peter (very busy as we are in the middle of the racing season) tuned it and was impressed by the torque. He's sending me the dyno sheets but the motor was putting down 310 rwhp at 7,000rpms. The cams are designed to hit the peak HP at 7,600rpms. So (very grossly) at 7000rpm the motor is putting down 232.5 ft/lb of torque. We'll lose some torque but at 7,600 I would think the motor would put down around 330rwhp. We can talk numbers all day long.. I am not interested much in wether it puts out 375hp or 390hp. To me driveability and throttle response are top.... Plus if Mr Dawe was happy with it.. then I am happy too.... |

Keith, I was talking with Bob last night, and I am trying to get a flight out there for the party. But right now it is looking like 1300.00 bucks....... I am still searching though.....

I'm a loser, baby.

Taking into consideration what this car has underneath it's skin, visually it is somewhat understated.
By the way it's AWESOME looking!

Anyone interested in a little parking lot swap, as long as we're all there? Save a trip to Thomasville? I may have a few goodies in the back of the truck......

We are nearly there.
Honeslty with the risk of sounding a jackass the pictures do not do it justice. The car is beautiful. And especially when it's on the road... As you can see there are a couple of little things that need to be addressed (the rear view mirror will be swapped for a black one, the brake ducts need to be installed and the bumper cut, the oil cooler grill mounted etc) but we are se close now.... |
