20 Days is coming down fast. I think we are at 13 now! Got the rear end apart
Waiting for new 1000HP axles from DriveShaft Shop. Installed the Hobbs switch for the NX sprayers. Got the front bumper on. Need to get the new coilovers and alignment done. So we are trucking along!
Stock axles have a ton of play now from all the power. Instead of waiting for it to snap, replace it ahead of time!

Have you considered swapping back to the OEM decklid and front bumper? The OEM setup has an incredible CdA of 0.589, and Cd of .29. I'd guarantee at least 1 to 2 mph in the mile over the Vorsteiner rear wing.
wallmon - I agree with you about the bonneville idea. Difference is they are rolling start where we are launching and need traction.
BBYWU - stock front bumper already on. putting the stock rear bumper and making a diffuser. We were going to leave the rear decklid on without the wing like we did last time, but we are making something custom MUAHAHAHAHA

So we are hammering through the mods and getting the KW coilovers installed along with the stock bumper, straight pipes, and new axles. The KW coilovers are pretty incredible. Just for a side note on these about using the stock strut tops on the front of the Porsche. We were wondering why there is no bearing for the stock strut top to go into the zinc plated sleeve... well Klaus from Germany called us and KW designs the coilovers so the shock rotations is done with a built in bearing on the bottom spring perch. So when the shock is fixed in the car, the upper mount does not turn like on conventional coilovers that have built in upper mounts. Here are some quick pics!
