Frosty,

It looks like the seats will be the last thing I do. I really like the Suzuka Cobra Technology seat. It appears to have it over all the other seats when you really compare design, construction, materials and weight. Currently, I am looking at how to mount and what hardware and sliders are required.

Lou
Lou,

Killer Angel has about 7400 miles. About half of those are dyno miles. Now don't laugh too hard, my daily driver is a stock Mercury Sable. In addition I do have some other cars, most of which are rarely driven.

Don't you have a Ferrari, and some other exotics?

Hey Chad
Why don't you enter the annual Road and Track (might be Car & Driver) Tuner Challenge? All the big boys come out to play.

Chad, take a week off upgrading the angel and I'm sure you could get something much more fun. May I suggest an Audi S4? Just don't get early build, they have engine and tranny problems.

Here is a link to one of the 00-02 Audi S4's that we have massaged. It is stock from oil pan to throttle body. It is compared to a stock RS6. Please be aware that a stock 996tt does around 330 on this dyno. RS6 341(auto has higher loses) Uber-tweaked s4 429.

edit-for some reason I cannot link the image to this site... Will take a look and try and fix later.

Yea, Audiworld doesn't allow that type of linking. I'm guessing you used the rs4 turbos...

Yea. That car has oem RS4 turbos. A stock S4 puts down about 180 on that dyno.

Lou,

As of the end of last year I sold all all the Ferrari's. My favorite was the 73 Dino 242 GTS Spyder which was on the front cover of Car and Driver. I believe it was the August '74 issue. It was listed as the fastest Dino in the world. In addition I had a 74 GT Daytona Spyder, 76 308 GTB fiberglass, 81 BB512 Locci and a 99 456 AM. I still have other various exotics and two historically significant Porsche race cars.

carnut,

I was invited to the Car and Driver Tuner Challenge. The invite was thru Helmut the owner of Renntech. They did the first work on Killer Angel. I declined the invite. Just wasn't interested in trailering the car all the way back to the Michigan Motor Speedway and then home again.

soon2b993tt,

The events R is talking about limit your top speed based on your equipment and experience with these events. Without a full cage and a fuel cell they won't let you anywhere near 200 mph.
