Hi buddy!! Great catch because I did not pay attention to that..... I just kept asking myself "why"....... |
O-M-G
Came here for a race car update... LMAO! |
I am NOT going to make a ricer joker, nor am I going to talk about how 14mm is somewhere between 1/2" and 9/16". The whole thing just makes me hate the metric system even more.

14mm, it may not be big but at least it’s skinny 😂

No no no. This is how YOU Greg Weld builds a race car:G-Dub::popcorn2::cheers:
Outstanding |
Fawk that’s mean lookin! You’re definitely going to need the brown suit.
The width makes it look chopped, wicked. Is it getting wrapped or painted? I forget. :bigun2: |
Pretty simple deal: Concrete goal, right people, and plenty of funding. :lol:
:lmao::lmao::lmao: |

Wrapped ---- it's a track car, no GoodGuys shows for it! Ford Triple Yellow and Ford Magnetic stripe Interior is a light grey powder coat - for cleanliness. I've never liked the flat black in OY. Attachment 65831 |

I don't care about Greg being able to see over the hood...I just want the GoPro to be able to see over the hood...

How’s about the wheels? I just saw something online about some new forged wheels and started wondering, besides the strength, is the design any kind of consideration for the aero package?

Oops! I see Greg posted a sample & details. |
How about the wheel question, you want to take a crack at that?

You are spot on Todd, as usual. I will say that the value of what someone gets for the dollar ... A. A new base model Howe TA2/GT2 race car is $130k ... $160k with upgrades. A2. A new base model RSRT TA2 Track Warrior is $110K ... $145k with upgrades. B. A new base RSRT GT Track Warrior is $170K ... $200k with all these upgrades Greg's has. C. A new base Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car is $213K ... $235 with upgrades D. A new Ave/Riley Trans Am race car is $330k ... without engine, trans or body. Add $135k to finish it. E. A new Panoz Esperante GTR-1 is $890K F. Of course we all know a lot of high end multi-purpose Pro-Touring cars built to run AX & Track can cost up to whatever someone wants to spend. Both the Howe TA2 (We're a dealer) & the RSRT TT (soon to be called TA2) perform the same. Our TT/TA2 is not legal in the Trans Am series. It is meant to provide TA2 level performance in whatever muscle car body you want ... 69 Camaro, 70's Camaro or Firebird, Chevelle, etc, etc. Depending on Aero, these cars will be capable of 1:53-ish on the 3-mile Thunderhill track with crows nest & 1:43-ish at Sonoma. For reference, Greg's mean 65 Mustang ... Ol Yeller ... with 245's all around & no aero ... runs 2:04's. Greg's RSRT GT Track Warrior will be capable of 1:51-ish on the 3-mile Thunderhill track with crows nest & 1:41-ish at Sonoma. I have a handful of local drivers that could do those times, due to their experience. As we know experience in these type of fast cars is a big deal. Greg being a rookie will be several seconds off that, until he gets similar experience. Once Greg is comfortable, our plan is to run him & the car in some NASA TTU events. Legend for reading the track records below ... TTU is NASA's Time Attack with unlimited rules! T1 is the same thing (sort of) for SCCA GT1 is full Trans Am Cars GT3 is "lighter" Trans Am style series for Porsche, Corvettes, etc GTA is equal to TA2 GTP is for highly developed sports race cars like Panoz, Viper, Corvette, etc PC is Porsche Cup for GT3 Cup cars only. Take a look at how these cars compare in performance, for the cost to buy one new. |

No consideration of aero. Just lightness & strength. This may seem like an"unlimited budget" build, but it's not. No carbon fiber wheels here. If you came to me & said build the fastest car on the planet, we'd need $600-700k. These wheels are 3-piece Forgeline GZ3R competition wheels. 18x13 front & rear. Graphite Powder Coat Centers. They only weigh 18#. :trophy-1302: I'll be posting photos, once we mount & install them on the car early next week. |

For the interior sheet metal work: do you finish welding the joints completely, or use seam sealer between the tack welds?

Absolutely awesome build! Can't wait to see it on track. ABS? Traction control?
Pappy |
What is the total weight of the car wet with no fuel? And as Pappy asked above, any ABS?
|
Please keep an eye on the T/C Rods on the lower control arms. The bend in them makes me nervous. They will be under compression under braking which puts a large bending moment on them and they are pre-yielded from the bending process.
With enough wall thickness and yield strength they could be fine but it is something to watch. If you have trouble with your caster alignment changing they could be bending further. |
