We scaled the car today. It was close to my estimate of 3350 lbs. We hit 3382 lbs and around 51.6 front weight. This car is over 150 lbs lighter than Red Devil and is up over 150 HP. Over all I'm happy with the way it turned out. This car is a tad heavier than Mayhem but the weight bias is a lot better. The better weight distribution and the down force should make the this car faster than the last two.

With the added cooling on this car I'm happy that the front mass was as low as it was. The engine cooling system holds 4 gallons and the intercooler system hold another gallon. So I have 40 lbs of water under the hood.

The car has A/C, dynamat and a full sound system. So it is a car you could take on Power Tour.

Beautiful - Charley this deserves its own roped section at MCACN. Mark Goodluck on the 17th - can't wait to hear it at WOT

Impressive number considering the level of components under the skin of this car.

Did you weight the metal vs carbon body panels?

The cowl vents are blocked off. Do you have a fresh air inlet for the cockpit or you are just running a recirculating A/C system ?

Congrats. Car looks gorgeous and the engine bay super sanitary.

I have found the Vintage Air works the best if you totally seal the car. All of the kick panel vents leak. I cap them off.

Actually it makes 702 HP and 675 TQ with bypass open - and 600+ #/ft from 2300-6100 RPM. Can always reduce throttle opening to drop power a little more.....

Dropping power is always easier than finding more!

I cannot imagine how this car will feel with 950ft tq but I would love find out. Pulling out of a corner on the track would be incredible, if you can get it hook up.
