Mario
I finished my second version of my car about 3 months ago. I did it because like you I wanted to. I built it for a bit of everything. Power (NRE), handling all DSE, custom interior for high end show quality, and huge attention to detail on all the wiring and hoses, stopping with electronic power assisted Baer brakes (good idea with no vacuum control in BB, mine are always strong and consistent) ..... plus great sound and AC.
Pretty much, like your car will be, it was custom done with some great parts from excellent companies.
I do not have TT but I have talked with Tom about it. :-) I have the 632 with about 700 rwhp. I cannot get the temp above 190 even after chasing Kyle around the track at Kershaw at 140 mph for several laps. I have a 1.5 inch tubed AutoRad radiator with double Viper fans.
My car weights 3960 (DSE scale) and it does great on the road course. Balanced at 49/51% with out my big butt in it which makes it near 50/50. When Kyle said he was very impressed I explained it was pure luck! Is there faster, sure, but a lot of that is the driver. I can hold my own as a hobbyist.
Payton King an active member here and a friend drove my car at Charlotte Motor speedway and he was surprised at how well it did.
So I say build what you want. You seem to be like me building a dream car. No specific reason.
I will TT mine one day with NRE so it will go to 2000+hp. Does it make sense, no....can I control all the HP I have now yes but need throttle management. I run 335 rears and can smoke them up to about 50 mph. Do I, no but I still love it!!!
So Mario, logic be damned, build from the heart!!
Cheers
Peter
