I think he is doing a turbo C6 Vette next

You could do an FD RX-7 with smaller frontal area, a solid axle rear, and stout 4L80e that won't break the bank instead......

at this point I just left

I want to thank everybody one more time from the people who threw spare change at me when I totaled the formula (my only car back then) to scrape a replacement together, to the guys on here, to the racers putting up a hard fight in true street, to all my friends in the car club RPM, my gf for putting up with all this car mumbo-jumbo, and of course the guy finally coughing up the cash to get this book closed. THANKS! It's been a great ride.

Look for the new book in about a year. Fingers crossed it works out but anything can happen.
