I figured they must of had more than one or two guys on it for you. Just remember, things never go as planned, especially when a one off car is being built. Bob

I agree, we ran into so many problems already, but were rectifying them one after the other, I just hope the scope of the problem isnt beyond what I could handle locally.

tt 427? You should have no problems. The weight of your car alone should make you a very nasty car on the streets. Add 900+ hp, and you'll be hard to find someone wanting to run you. If your not burning off tires that is. haha Good luck, sounds like a great build.

A guy about 3 miles from me has a Veyron, Enzo, Porsche GT2, Ferrari 430, couple AMG's, and 4-5 other huge dollar exotics. They all get parked side by side in his 10 car garage.

Gotta be $3 million in cars. Lucky bastard

Aren't the TTi turbos rated to 1000whp? I think with that much power (and some good tires) with the light weight Z06, you will be able to pull him.

The aero ultimate TT is like 1200+ BHP and is supposed to hit 270 mph. The current Aero tt did 256 mph i think.
