Not my place to reveal...but I don't think it matters much. It's going to be killer.

I find it very funny that the number one question I get on this car is "what color is it gunna be".

Not how much power, weight, chassis..... LOL

I agree with Mary "Don't think it will matter a whit ..."

I don't tell people the color because it changes all the time and we won't know for sure until it comes out of Joe VanNus's paint gun.

Experiment:

I think you should paint it some really obnoxious color, just to test your "trendsetting" ability. You could start a trend of pink Camaros or something. You will never know the extent of your power until you test it.

Regardless of color, one thing is for sure - -those VanNus boys will have it slick!!!!!!

All joking aside, it looks like another great project. So since you asked for it, I will ask a few questions.

DSE Suspension, tubs etc. was already established
-New JRI Shocks also?
-Any special tricks to fit larger rubber under the earlier body or will it
ride on the slightly smaller wheel/tire combo that is typical of the
earlier cars?
-Same rear axle configuration (Vette hubs) that you ended up with on
Red Devil?
-I don't recall that you ended up utilizing any kind of traction control on
Red Devil, any plans to go that route? It may or may not yield any
performance gains for a driver at your level, but I thought I would ask
if you had considered it.

OK - that's enough of my dumb questions for now.

Very excited to be able to follow a build in somewhat real time - just finished reading the Pro-Touring book you put together, excellent all around read.

Alright. I'll bite.

What?! No aero mods?! Underbody tray, rear diffuser, splitter??? The competition will likely be doing more power and less weight as well. What have you got up your sleeve to get the title back?

Armchair Quarterbackingly yours,

How are you losing weight? From your book it seemed like you were always thinking about it, but from the pictures I can't spot any indication that you've gone farther in that direction than you have in the past.

What did you learn from Red Devil that you're applying to this car? With so few details it seems like you're building the same car over.

My bet is that Mark will fall on his creature comfort sword a bit and save weight in one area by not soundproofing "the little devil" as extensively, or perhaps at all.

As memory serves there was a figure mentioned in the excerpt on Red Devil in his Building the Mule book that spoke of 60 Pounds... That would be a huge diet for a car so capable.
I also got a minimalistic vibe off of that radiator shot, Smaller tanks maybe? Efficiency though less water weight?
As we learned from Stielow in the Mule book he goes the extra mile and shaves tenths of ounces to save ounces and ounces add up to pounds.
