I must say, nice job. I am a Vette person and Chevy all the way. However, I have respect for any car with HP and TQ. You are very talented indeed!

After this project the GTM will be a breeze!

Glad to see it came together so nicely!

My friend/mechanic was wondering, and I completely lost track of this thread, did you ever put a firewall in? Or running without one? If you put one in, how'd you end up getting that done?!

Congrats on finishing that thing in pretty damn good time - the NOPI burnout was awesome.

Keep up the good work man, and don't mind the e-tards...I was getting a bit nauseated reading the HT forum thread though...

My Probevette will have to wait till later, since my other Probe keeps breaking parts and saps the budget, so for now it will be RWD with a V6, and later down the road I'll throw in an LS1 as originally planned.

Your build has been more than enjoyable, sans the knuckleheads.

wow...I read the entire thread today. Saw it over on rx8club.

I love it, everything except for the two corvette badges, mostly because I think they could potentially take away from the sleeper status of the car (if it's even possible to take away from that).

Have you considered entering it in Sport Compact Car's Ultimate Street Car Challenge? I think once you have everything Tuned (I read you said you needed to get it tuned, not sure if you did) and the suspension dialed in (love the fact you are using coil overs meant for the elise ) it should be quite a car
