HRE Comp C20's. He painted the centers and the lips matte black with a silver stripe.

 

I went for a ride in Mike's car and it scared the hell out of me.

 

I had a chance to drive Mike's car a couple of weeks ago when in Phoenix. She's peppy!

 

CAN YOU ELABORATE AND COMPARE IT TO YOUR CURRENT SETUP

TIA

Sure. The first time I tromped it from a idle roll, I thought there might be a small bit of incremental lag vs the GT700. Tried to replicate this, but each additional low RPM tromp (~ 1200 RPM) from 1st and 2nd seemed to have no additional lag vs the GT700. Managed to get a couple of runs to the top of 4th. His car has some serious pull. You really feel like you better be in a straight line when flattening the gas pedal or you could loose the rear end as it slides around all through 2nd and into 3rd. I wish he had the RA1 245s/335s on the car to be able to better compare traction with mine. I'm hoping to see a 91 octane dyno of his car overlaid with my GT700.

what boost and gas was he running? did it feel a lot more powerful than the gt700?

 

That's because I, Alex Von Shark-Knuckle, gave him PERMISSION. He copied the RS completely on those but I was ok with it. He gave me a comission

Got to drive Mike's car last week when I was visiting. By far the fastest GT700-based platform I've driven. Love the 3.8 combo on there.

 

[quote=jags911tt;1706924]Not sure exactly on what gas / file he had. 1.5 bar. Yes, it seemed a lot more powerful than my car. Hard to get real specific. I haven't driven my car since it started snowing 3 month ago. I have lost my perception. My Suburban feels real fast to me right now! I would really like to see back to back dynos overlaid.

If I'm not mistaken, I recall him saying there is always some race fuel in the tank. Either way, the car goes like hell.

at this point I'm deciding between gt30 and gt 35s.

 

Me too .

 

Mike's car really looks fantastic.

This is a great example of a wild modded car that has been
very tastefully done.

I would love to hear "in Mike's words" How she goes.

His command of expletives in unparalleled !!

But mine's faster And dammit just when I go out there I hear you moved away....

 

Hey boys this is my new ID!! Thank you for all the kind words!
Luis and Sharky have driven my car and they feel the same way I do... It is on a different level!!!

****Edited per Jags Request****

Woodster, in my own words... For a daily driver this car is unreal!!! on a different level! The car does 640/650tq on 91 octane and almost 700 to all four strung out and 109. I have had the car done for about 2 months and I have almost 4K on it.... It gets driven!

I noticed that people were asking about the tail... It is a custom deal that I did my self... no one manufactures it that way I just wanted something different!!

Mike

 

Mike I just pm'd you.
