It will be wonderful for you to raise the hood and actually understand what all the pieces are and what they do. I understand a lot of the pieces under my decklid but there are many I don't. Nice build Mike, I know you'll enjoy him/her.

 

that looks great mike... can't wait to see this thing on the track... get an audio clip of that bad boy posted as well!

 

Jeff I concur, better come out Mike

 

Mike, that looks like it's going to be a blast to drive and obviously very fast. Hope to see you at the Chin VIR event in July. I still can't stop thinking about last year's event. What a track!

Mike

 

great, I still remember the good old times back in Germany with Porsche Racing there was always fun :-)

 

I can't tell you how wholly inadequate I feel right now. ;-)

WOW, great job! Will look forward to hearing your impressions once you've had it out on the track.

Good luck!

 

Thanks guys.. Couple things you may or may not notice...

The key hole/door locks, rear antenna hole, side marker lights, and the rear fuel door filler were all frenched on the body to smooth it down. I also custom welded that fuel filler into the rear passenger upper B-pillar. I thought hard about frenching the roof drip rails, but decided it would be more work than the aero benefit would add... turns out I was right. We think there is actually some benefit to keeping them running along the roof as they are!

We have much work still to do on the aerodynamics side of the car. I spent a day in the windtunnel in April 2007 collecting data (and writing a magazine article) for this platform. I'll be adding some of the items that we learned actually will improve the dirty aerodynamics of the car.

Hope to fire it up this weekend, as I have a new pump and a few other items in hand for the weekend's project of "starting" it.

Very, very cool. Thanks for the posts. Very much looking forward to video and seeing it some day, hopefully at VIR with you passing me fast.
