I've been very impressed with my girlfriends new orange Boxster S....just not fast enough for me but handles very well. I'm seriously considering either the Aston Martin or the AMG SL63. I'm leaning towards the Benz. I'm def' looking forward to your build when it is done.

Scott -
I was out at VIR on Mon and Tues. Reese had his car there. Unfortunately he did not have a passenger seat in it. I told him he should have put one in just to give rides - it would have been great advertising for the TVS package. I was hoping to get a ride. They ran the car hard for two days and didn't seem to have any problems. I think it was still on a stock bottom end. It was stupid fast on the straights even with all of the downforce on that car.
They were very excited to get your car done and to get it on a dyno. It looks like it will be a monster.

I heard the MTI car was a monster at VIR....hitting over 180 on the straights, and running neck and neck on the straights with a full Z06 Trans AM race car. And you're right, MTI's car is still running a stock bottom end.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how my car turns out. Thanks for the info, bro.

Guys,
Here are some pics of the motor in the car, the new exhaust and the TVS supercharger.
The snout on the TVS still needs to be powdercoated black, and then the ribs will be polished.
I'll post more pics next week. Have a great weekend.

Dennis,
Dyno tuning should be completed by this evening (I'll post numbers when I get them). In-car videos of the car will be completed tomorrow.
Still waiting on my 360 Forged wheels, but once they come in the upgraded suspension will be installed and than the interior components will be installed after everything else is complete.
More to follow....
