Have you met any GT2 owner that has put $300,000 in to his car? THAT IS THE REAL QUESTION.

How will you feel if or when KA gets beaten by such a car?
Tyson,

In answer to your question ................ yes. S Car Go Racing has built one. You will be hearing about it soon enough. So now what?

I haven't been beaten by such a car, presently it isn't in the same league. Even if it was, so what. I've been beat before in the past although not very often. It's no big deal to start over from scratch. It's fun, and if I get beat by a better car ....... so be it. It gives me something to strive for and you know by now that I will strive for it. I really don't take winning all the time that seriously. I'm more interested in what someone has done to beat me. The more innovative the better. Kevin is presently on the right track. His car will be a real contender. Is money really an object?

My gt2 weighs 3269lb full of fuel. My tt weighs 3459lb full of fuel, measured on the same race scale same day! Its only 190lb difference. The gear ratios are the same, there is NO difference, Just tire size, syncros and cooler. As far as performance, in a straight acceleration contest, my stage 2 TT launches quicker, the GT2 easily goes up in smoke. After that, the stage 2 pulls gradually away. In a corner, my GT2 has a hint of understeer, easily balanced with some throttle and is thrilling to drive. My TT understeered much much more, gave a much vaguer feel in the suspension and was not as exciting to corner in. Ofcourse, other Mods will change all that. This is my humble opinion of a stock GT2 vs Stage2 TT(stock suspension). I've owned and driven both.

Perhaps money really isn't an object, but what's important is the approach that you take to tuning the car.

While I have always been an admirer of what you have done, I think it's time for you to run your car against real contenders, not just other S-Car-Go cars.

After all, you saw what happened to the #2 S-Car-Go car despite the fact that Wilber and I collectively spent probably one fifth of what Alex spent.

Not saying that your or S-Car-Go's approach is wrong, but there are different ways of skinning a cat.

Give me a few months, hopefully I can get you to respect a GT2.

If not, I'm sure Jurgen Alzen Motorsport could show KA a thing or two.

No disrespect to the GT2 period. I love the looks of the car. I just wish it had awd without PSM. I have incorporated many of the GT2 parts in KA.

As for the S Car Go #2 car at the time, it was put together in a rush (about two weeks) when I decided not to participate. That car wasn't even close to KA.

Yes, there is different ways to skin a cat. Your car was one. Kevin's car is another.

Tyson, I am a competitor and I have fun playing with this car. I am a good winner as well as a good loser. When the day is done, win or lose it doesn't make a hill of beans one way or another. Tomorrow is always a new day. If you or anyone is chasing KA, then they are chasing a rainbow.

One also has to keep in mind that Chad spent $300.000 on R&D and multiple same-function parts, it´s not like the car has $300k in it. I just want to see some videos of the Angel
