Javelin for NASA American Iron

[Track Junky]

Congrats on selling the Z06 Asif. Is the power to weight ratio in American Iron still 9.5:1?

thank Jon, good to hear about Speed-O-Motive.
thanks Bryce.

Gaetano - yes the limit is still 9.5:1 for HP, torque is 9:1

after a bunch of work the car is ready to get the insides painted a light gray. plan to take it to the painter next week... here's a couple of shots and latest updates are here: http://asifnyc.com/?cat=41

ok, got the insides painted. now it's time to get this thing assembled. other info:

1. I'm having speed o motive down in west covina, ca build the motor. I got that started after I sold the Z06. motor will be ready in about 3 weeks.

2. bought a used 9" diff/carrier off craigslist. it's a posi but seems the clutches are worn. guess I need to rebuild or spring for a better diff and just use this for the carrier.

3. got the lexan windshield I ordered. will need trimming before it will fit.

things should start moving more quickly now (I hope)...

You really got everybody off of de-caf in the last vid.! BTW Is that .040 aluminum in the dash?

Looking good Asif. I'm going to talk to Jerry at NASA about working for them starting February on a voluntary basis and then starting my time trial season in May. How soon before you are track ready?
