Anachronistic Anomaly
|
Radu's GT2 is on the streets of Los Angeles
Radu's out and about, so I'm posting the first pics of "the beast" on it's first evening out. This was about 5 minutes before the throttle linkage came disconnected just past the end of the tunnel. I went home and got a jack, jackstands, and tools. We fixed it right there in the Ralphs/Starbucks parkinglot. We got a lot of weird looks.
This car is much scarier in person. ![]() ![]() ![]()

It still needs some sorting out-too much front camber for highway-but should be done soon. Call me tomorow afternoon if you want to go for a drive.

That car is driven on the street? Without padding on the cage? ??
I drive my car on the street... occasionally... 1900 or so pounds with a ~350-370 bhp 3.8. But I don't drive it without extra cage padding in the head area. Got any pictures of teh front trunk area?

Do you get much heat transfer inside the cabin with the oil tank sitting right there with no shielding and the oil feed line running right down the tunnel?

Good luck with the car RADU. I had a chance to see that car at TRE and its a nice little machine! Looks like your going 100MPH standing still. Cant wait to see it at the track.
