With a new lightweight exhaust I feel another 20+lbs can be shed. The wheels are also 1 piece cast which are very durable; however have an approx 4lb weight gain each due to that.

With the old 383ci LS engine the car achieved the following lap times with Bill driving:
1:33.6 Laguna Seca
1:44 Infineon
1:54 Thunderhill

It recently ran a 1:33 flat at Laguna Seca with Bill Lackey driving at about 80%. He feels it has a 1:29 in it if pushed hard. My first time ever at Laguna Seca I ran a 1:35.5. The car is very easy to drive. It is an absolute animal and with further sorting can be a very very fast track day or campaigned race car. This is not a street car.

You want to lay the smack down on Porsche Cup Cars and just about anything on the track? Viper ACR's and full blown Corvette race cars.... Here you go. Engine rebuilds are 1/4 the price of anything Porsche including transmission rebuilds. Can also convert it back to a T56 setup for additional funds. Might even be faster than the 4spd dog box setup. This is a well sorted race car and one of the cleanest around.

I'm selling this to focus on finishing my other gray "street" FD RX-7 with a dry sump LS7 (575rwhp) setup and free up some funds. Can't justify 2 toys.

I can deliver as well for additional $.
