Oh Steve, before I forget, I was thinking you could tattoo Penny, now that'd make her a lot ''badder'' than what she is now, the Bad Penny logo should be somewhere around the car, don't you think?

I have a 2.66 first gear with 3.89 rear gears.. The car just gets going fast off the line. I'm shooting for 525ish rwhp and over 500 rwtq but I want it to come on down low and stay around in the mid range. Having more power than the car can handle putting down is pointless, but we feel Penny can handle just a bit more and have it be useful.
Now if I was just building for the road course I would build a blown LS engine and shoot for 700 rwhp.. but I'm trying for a balance between autocross and road course. Generally if a car beats me in one it won't beat me in the other.. generally.. lol
I like the exterior simple.. although I really liked the matt black hashmarks. The logo is on the battery tray and in the engine bay. I'm saving the exterior tatoo for Track Rat.
Her's how she sits right now.. hopefully we can have the drivetrain out and front end off by Christmas. Scraping off the old undercoating is going to be a royal PITA, but worth it in the end.
