Do you have a roll cage in the car? Any plans for upgrading the seats? Looks like there is a lot of movement with the g's.

Thanks for sharing ..... that's cool to run your car like it was meant to!

Doesn't get much better than those numbers.



Agreed. Time for Chad to think about bringing the safety features up to snuff with the performance I'd say.

150mph is no joke...
yeah you guys got me. I've had safety upgrades in mind for over a year but have chased sorting issues instead. I'm also like many who did all the go fast goodies first and then realized I should spend some time and money on safety too..

So plans include:
- 4 point roll bar with possibly door bars. No cage as I will street this thing without a helmet a lot.
- Fixed back seat for track days (leaning towards a containment seat too)
- 5 point harness
- Fire suppression system

I need to figure out what roll bar to go with and/or a shop to do one custom. I once upon a time figured Brett would do it but he has an overfull plate as it is. I want to figure out the bar and shop first and then build the rest around it.

And yeah yesterday was pretty amazing.
