oh ya, forgot.
driving this car you have to hammer the skinny pedal in the corners if you want to be aggressive. the power drives the back through the turns and helps plant the front end down. if you back off the car losses traction and slides out.

it was fun with 225 whp. that as tough to beat with that power level. I can't wait for 500 hp. The car has no accessories other than the alt. no power steering or ac...

I will keep the updates coming but action will be slow till spring.
Thats going to be one helluva wild ride man!!!

1st test fire below. the engine has very strong oil pressure. the rattle is the muffler on the engine cradle. that will be fixed soon.

Well, I drove it to the office in the afternoon. sat in traffic both ways and did not over heat.
However I do think the front bonnet needs better vents.

while appreciate the input, I think your scaling is off. the car sits 3" off the ground. the top of the roof is at my elbow. I am however looking into different rims to get more rubber on the ground.

since passing inspection on Tuesday I have put 200 miles on the car with limited issues that are/was easy fixes.
the car actually legally passed inspection.

LS1 911,
How do you like your Harbor Freight air compressor? What is the CFM at what PSI?
