Default One week TOO LATE

Well we tried our asses off to get this thing ready in time for the shootout but it just wasnt meant to be. We got her on the dyno last thursday before the event and found out the core in the intercooler was leaking into the charge tubes. We were pretty bumbed. Anyway, the new intercooler showed up today so we are setting the valves now and should be on the dyno tomorrow. If all goes well, we will be at HRP saturday and sunday for the $10K to win True Ten Five race. Here are some pics of the car.

Good luck not overheating sir. Your automobile seems to be devoid of a radiator. Some circular metal apparatus has overtaken its place.

You had them build you one hell of a beast. Is your car 01Z's old car?? I'm sure you'll have a blast with it.

Is this a purpose built TTT5 car? Or are you going after other classes as well? Oh, and I cant quite fathom spending all that money to build a slickass car like this and letting someone else pilot it. IMO, of course.

The only class the car fits in is True ten five, and limited street. Most of the stock suspension classes limit you on turbo size. I am really anxious to drive it BUT i have never driven anything like it before and i want to stand a chance in a few races this year so Steven will be driving for a little bit.
