Although I've seen Todd Akes car when we were at Buttonwillow last September and that paint job is flawless. Not to mention a pretty sweet looking interior also and he beats on that thing on the road courses and at the auto-x's.

So now we're talking about Todd's car?? Lol

I daily or by daily drive my car. So no need to worry about the front getting messed up. I built it with a couple friends too. Learned how to weld on it. Did the majority of the metal work. Including the front spoiler.
Anyway.... Where is that video of your car??

And Todds car would take Gratten better than mine.... Not sub 1:24 though. My car has nearly double the power as Todd's. So it would just be sideways the whole time. Would make for a lot of fun and good video though. Todd's is a couple hundred lbs lighter as well.

First off, I'm confused. Are you Josh or Josh's friend?

Really like that front spoiler(actually the whole car is sweet)but did you see the pics of Todd's spoiler after his dad got a hold of it at an auto-X. Just sayin', hate to see that happen to yours.

I've got some vid floating around on one of these threads running at Buttonwillow after making a few changes on the car but nothing special. Yeah, I was running in open(advanced)class and past a Vette, Porsche, and a few others but the changes I made created a push and I could have been way faster. Besides that I was up for 20 hours before the track day and only got 4 hours sleep so I was running on fumes.

Totally different car from the DC/Khalis though. My big thing is to keep it old school with stock sub and leaf springs but it is also a dedicated track car.

Currently working on tuning the front to where it was before, taking another 40 lbs off with rear lexan and aluminum deck lid plus another little change that I will post on my build thread when the time is right. Car weights in at 3080 right now.

How did I get dragged into this deal. It ain't how much power you have, it's how much you can use.

Josh's car has sick power. My biggest concern would be heat on a road course with those windmills.

Hah, reeled your ass in . I was just tellin' about how you come out and thrash with such a clean car. Dont know if I would do that and more power to you.

Power is great down the straights but you need to know how to use it in the corners.

Heat is a huge concern. If you could keep the car cool with all that power more power to you.

I figured you would be near Gratten . The Busstop would ko your rockers .
I did a pair of 1:25s on two wheels with an 01 gixer 750 back in 03 or 04 Love that track .
Any track video is better than a couple dounuts
My car is in pieces , hope to make Gingerman April 27 th
Its just a lowbuck Vette, First gen motor, TKO500 . Just found a Dana 44 to replace the d36 I broke .

Dont think so, LABusas doesn't ring a bell.

I'm on the west coast in NorCAL

I think LA traffic is a much better test for heat issues than doing a couple of laps on the track. Josh's car is 100% driver but I will volunteer to run it on the track any day!

Definitely have to disagree. Road racing makes the most heat by a country mile. 15-20 minutes of 4-7000 rpm at near or full power. Definitely not saying the car can't handle it, but it better have a HUGE oil cooler.

True, I was thinking of the average track day 1 warm up, 3 hot laps, and a cool down not a full out race situation. Of course 600-700 HP N/A that can turn a ton of high RPMs would be ideal for that.

Well it's not a track car. It's a street car. It won't make super fast lap times.... But like I said.... It wasn't built for that. All steel. All glass, power windows, ect. And for what I use the car for.... The power is extremely useable.
