Default Lovin' the new Car

Well Mark knew what he was doing when he built this car...

The thing can really scoot..

The lopey cam and side pipes give it the feel of '60s muscle.....I was concerned that the 400ish rwhp was going to be bit low....but with such a light car....it is proving to be plenty....the ride is stiff but not punishing...the 45 series tires grab and still help with the ride quality...with the larger tires in the back there is some understeer but a little right pedal brings the car back on line....

The s-curves is where the car really shines....the light weight and suspension set up lets the car fly from left to right with zero body roll and plenty of confidence...

Although the weather has been cool...the car doesn't even think about running hot...with the A/C on....it did hit 190 while in moderate traffic....

Driving through Malibu is an experience....typical Italian and German sports cars go un-noticed when this thing comes roaring by in 2nd gear.....

My list of things I was going to do to the car keeps getting shorter and shorter....I have to do something to put my thumbprint on it.....but if I didn't do anything....I would be happy....Only thing on the possible list is a lightweight flywheel as I feel like the care could spool a bit faster...also ordered HpTuners suite for the car just to check out the tune....

All in All.....Well done........
