What's up Sam! Long Time. Last time we spoke Auto Talent was brand new.

Still got that sweet *** 335? I bet it's at 400 hp by now.

 

I have been following your build from the start and I just wanted to congratulate you on your vision. I hope to see it in Excellence.

 

Here are pics of the KW hydraulic lift system initial installation. Have not operated it yet . Probably tomorrow.

 

KW HLS additional pics. We had to install the hydraulic units on the front coilovers at the top as the unit would not clear my 11 x 18 BBS RSR monoblock wheels. There is only 10 mm between my tire and the coilover spring.

 

I am sorry but the rear bodywork on the car reminds me of "Corvette Summer"

 

Here are pics of the completed roll cage and the 997 air jack cannisters in place. Nitrogen feed hose connection is under the hood to the left of the electric steering resevoir.

 

Are you really going to track this thing???

Building a 400k + car for the track is something usually reserved for race teams. You must really love Turbos to have picked that as the platform for a project this big.

I wonder what the resale value will be. LOL

 

Who knows...it is definitely a "crazy" project at this point. I will reserve the answer to your question until I see the finished car in front of me. I know one thing is true...I cannot build it twice!!

 

"usually" but not always!

When you build a project like this you don't care about resale, it's all about your passion to build exactly what you want and having the ability to do so.

I know as I have been there many times and I am currently finishing a crazy project at Loren's that has cost me more than I care to account. The problem with Loren is that he can and will build whatever you can dream up.

I love the car except the rear end. More power to you! My only advise is finish it up and drive it!

 

Thanks grussell... I agree that it is a passion not to be confused with IRR. Sorry you do not like the rear, but like all things visual, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Actually, it is intended to be functional and release as much heat as possible from the engine area. The rear air diffuser is certainly functional by design.

 

Sorry, I should have been more specific. The only part of the rear I don't like are the risers on the fenders. Other than that it's killer!

 

Nice build, you are a sick man (in a good way)

 

I kind of like it. Its gotta old school feel to it. Wing a la 935 type of thing.

 

Remember...it is all about ground effects and down force. The "wings" certainly apply additional down force.

 

I think when this thing is painted, peoples opinions about that rear end will change.
