Hey what up guys. Havent posted here in a long while so I thought I'd share some of the progress Ive done with the car and my build sheet. The car is a jack of all trades but its main purpose is to carve the hell out of canyon roads and that it does very well. Its a 9sec car with only the addition of drag radials. It went 170mph in the standing 1/2mi with 700rwhp so idk what itll do now at 850rwhp.

Wiseco pistons
Scat rods
Stock crank

Drivetrain:
Built 4L65E, huge Tru-Cool trans cooler
Circle D triple disk converter
Solid and poly torque tube couplers from LG
C5Z 3.42 diff

Suspension:
Stance Suspension SS coilovers, custom Swift spring specs
Hotchkis C6Z06 sway bars
C6Z06 brakes w/Hawk DTC-70/60 pads
