Dang, hard to say what I'm most impressed by... First probably is the backspace on the front wheels along with the overall width of them. Scrub should be most excellent it appears... Then I guess how it all looks so simple and clean yet is so over engineered and awesome at the same time.

Nice work fellas...

Ready to blow it back apart for powder coating yet?

Good eye Lance! This is a "Zero Scrub" car. So it cuts like a mutha in the tight corners.

The chassis & suspension will get powder coated ... and the body sanded & wrapped ... after our June 28th track test. Then all put back together to run the NorCal Shelby Club Mini Nats August 3-5.

:headscratch: Oh! Not "mini" this year. Well okie dokie then. :lol:

Your car will have Shelby tail lights. Does that count ?

.

I noticed that a lot of your engine packages state that you use are using a cable operated throttle body.

What drives the decision to use DBW or cable? Availability of throttle body size for power considerations? User preference? Other?

Car looks awesome in the go cart form, but that transmission.....yummm

Actually ... I need to change that in our new catalog ... because we offer both DBW-Drive by Wire and traditional cable operated throttle bodies. It is user preference (or needs). I find we sell about half cable operated & half DBW. Just depends on what the end user needs.

For the DBW throttle bodies we use:
* Stock GM LS3 92mm version for 625HP & lower
* Nick Williams 102mm version 700HP & up

For the Cable operated throttle bodies we use:
* Holley 90mm for for 625HP & lower
* Holley 95mm for for 675HP & lower
* Holley 105mm for for 700HP & up

For Greg's car, the electronic "no-lift" sequential shift controller needs a DBW throttle body to work correctly. On upshifts, the electronic "no-lift" sequential shift controller kills the power for a fraction of a second, to make the shift smooth. But the throttle stays wide open (as long as the driver has the throttle pedal wide open.) On downshifts, the electronic "no-lift" sequential shift controller needs to "blip" the throttle to make the downshift happen smoothly, so a DBW throttle body is needed.

If we had not ran the sequential shift transmission, we would have ran a cable operated throttle body.

Hope this insight helps.

Picture reminds me a little of my Mustang back in 2007........only racier. Man I love build pics
