Very nice! 
I've always thought it would be fun to do a kit car from the ground up like that. I share the concern about the lack of airflow through the intercoolers. Looking forward to hearing your plans for them.
Best of luck!

As long as you can keep the weight down you dont need massive brakes! Might be worth looking at Porsche hubs though as they are pretty strong and offer great brakes. ALso hear of people using the Corvette ZO6 and ZR1 stuff as well!
The brakes consist of TCI mustang II 11" rotors/ 2 piston front and 11" ford rotors i the rear, controlled by a twin Wilwood 1" masters, and lomg pedal assembly...I wanted to used bigger but the wheels are only 15" and hubs and breakes are limitied fit

What trans are you using?
I have a finished Diablo Roadster w/sbc (archie kit), been building a twin turbo LS1 to swap in. I have been working on a custom reverse rotation th425 using a 4x4 front differential, but progress is slow. I keep changing the design and just cant decide if this is going to work....

Yes there air to air but they will get the + swirling air thats pushed down from the roofline in to the vents on the bonnet..Im also installing twin cooler sprayers for play time...

This is what Im shooting for....I Think this is a very realistic representation of what it will look like. I have OEM glass, taillights, headlights, wheels, tires, badges, and many other trims...

Yeah Im farmilliar with the GTR....I love the way they look! anyways Im not to worried about weight Im sure there wil plenty enough power to tote it around pretty good, and my biggest concern was the ride and how smooth. Ya never know, I might come in below my originally estimated weight....

Cool build. If it looks like the black one posted, I'd say it's a pretty sweet kit setup. Ever see the these? Other then the Ultima GTR and the superlite, this is badass.

Cool build, keep the pics rolling as you progress.

Not sure about the rest of their kits, but the GTR is a much more developed product in terms of a Kit Car.
