That is sick lookin. How the hell do you get that in there? I would figure that you have to put a 4 link setup in there but wouldnt the links connect somewhere in the passenger compartment? Got a pic from underneath? I would love to see that on the street. Doin wheelies in a street race. lol. GL man

Its a home made TT (T67s I believe), Tom did all the fab work on the twin turbo and the 4 link, 9" TH400 in his one car garage at home. Its a badass looking, sounding AND running car. Very nice stuff like running the exhaust the frame rails, it looks mean as hell in person and with the power it makes it should be mean as hell at the track.

Just goes to show you what you can do in your garage with a chop saw and a mig welder I think it took 2 months to build the TT setup and 2.5 months to back half the car if I remember.

Cant wait to see what it does at the track next weekend Tom

We have a winner, try to get 'lucifer' on a license plate in the bible belt.

If his name was Luci I gues the F3R makes sense

construction pic 2....this is what you do with the exhaust when the trans takes up the WHOLE tunnel and the car is too low to run it under the body. we ran the 3" exhaust through the straight section of framerail on each side of the car. it exits in front of the rear wheel where the brake cooling vents are on a zo6. there are no mufflers. it's not nearly as loud as you would think it would be and it sounds pretty mean.

it is running. I put about 150 or so miles on it yesterday. I would be out driving it today if I hadn't broken a valvespring last night on the way home. the springs are over 3yrs old and have over 100 passes and probably 15k street miles on them. it's probably time to change them anyway.
