Default C5 with F1C Pics

Just finishing up on my car and wanted to show off some pics of the project. Build included a Iron 408, F1C, FMIC, AFR 225 72cc, EWP, Vic Jr, 90mm TB, and etc. No dyno numbers that are any good yet. Still working a belt slip issue and needs tires super bad. It is spinning like crazy on the dyno. So far we have only gone as far as 10 PSI on the dyno and it produced 728hp and 688tq but the pulley should be good for at least 14PSI if I can fix my little problems first. Here are a few pics of the car completed followed by a few build pics. Enjoy!















*engine shots coming soon*

Car looks, and sounds great man. Very nice quality pictures as well. That front lip spoiler is awesome,...I wish I could have something like that but...it'd probably last a day due to clearence issues.

Anyways,...nice car.
