Congrats Brian.

I was watching the counter-steering out of the corners thinking "that track looks like fun."

I really liked the previous exhaust note and now it sounds even better. :thumbsup:

Congrats on breaking the record! Thanks for sharing the video, exhaust sounds great.
Brian, like Dave asked, I'm curious if you switched to a different muffler for the heck of it or performance reasons?

That was better and it sounded good, but still a bit loud. Billy with Black Widow Exhaust Systems approached me and asked me to try his new design. The sound is a much crisper sound on my car. As the load and rpm increase, the sound db's do not increase. It may even get a bit quieter. I do not notice any performace advantage or disadvantage compared to my straight thru mufflers in the past. With 600 hp, it is hard to feel one way or another.

Brian, congrats again on setting the track record out at Adams. I think most people that were chasing it are just going to give up now. Bret is going to take that ridiculous wing off his car and I'm going to dust off the lawn chair and have a go at the whole car show thing after watching that video of you posted up. And we weren't even going for the track record, just "fast times."

Here is a video my Dad shot at Adams Motorsports Park when I broke the track record. Please excuse the wind noise. It was a bit windy out there in the afternoon.

Once everything is painted, we will assemble the body parts and ship it back to the home shop for final assembly. We are using PPG's Envirobase Waterborne paint. We use PPG exclusively and it is amazing paint. When we converted a couple years ago from solvent to water, we were nervous at first. It has proven to be much better then solvent based paint.

Here are some recent shots of the hood and doors. More to come....

The satin black stripe will be applied later.

It is a custom color we came up with at the shop. Check out the Vibrance Collection. Nice colors there.
