Two things Ken...

1) Great mods on the car... looks like you're just get'n warmed up.
2) Snow sucks ***.

This is interesting...
Beastpower posted earlier the following numbers for the various brake setups:
"Brake Weights
996TT FRONT:
- Stock - Rotor: 23.4 pounds
- Stock - Caliper: 10.1 pounds
- Brembo GT - Rotor: 16.9 pounds
- Brembo GT - Caliper: 10.5 pounds
- Brembo Le Mans - Rotor: 16.9 pounds
- Brembo Le Mans - Caliper: 7.4 pounds (8 piston)

996TT REAR:
- Stock - Rotor: 19.3 pounds
- Stock - Caliper: 12.2 pounds
- Brembo GT - Rotor: 13.6 pounds
- Brembo GT - Caliper: 10.5 pounds
- Brembo Le Mans - Rotor: 13.4 pounds
- Brembo Le Mans - Caliper: 7.4 pounds (8 piston)"

KPV's numbers are:
"Stock Setup:
Front Rotor = 23 pounds
Front Caliper & pads = 13 pounds
Rear Rotor = 19 pounds
Rear Caliper and pads = 9 pounds

Brembo Setup:
Front 15†rotor = 27 pounds
Front 8 piston caliper, pads and bracket = 13.5 pounds
Rear 14†rotor = 18 pounds
Rear 4 piston caliper, pads and bracket = 10 pounds"

Ken:

Car looks really good. One word of caution, however: could the amplifier, etc. be somewhat more isolated from the fuel tank such that, in case of a bad accident, one might be more protected against the mixture of fuel and spark?

Ken...

Awesome, no other way to describe it!!!! Love how those massive brembo's fill out the 19" SSR GT3 wheels, looks like they would stop the space shuttle on it's return to earth. Very cool how you mounted the V1 remote display unit...Very trick!!!
