So, heres the fruits of my labor. I bought some hood clips to hold it down, and to save a little weight xD and a fuel safe racing cell. Tom made me a full custom rollcage, and I went out and got a racing seat, and a steering wheel with a quick disconnect, among a few other things, like a fire extinguisher, racing computer, and such. Picked up some runner wheels for the rear, and some 10 inch small tires for the front, mounted on cheap knockoff Vossen's. The car, as stated above, has 533 hp, and thats just for street driving. I had this car DOT certified to drive on the street. I mocked up, and made, a custom shortpipe with an integrated muffler, just to pass the DOT inspection. I knew they would NEVER approve a complete shortpipe without a muffler, as it would be to loud. In the TTT-Type, I could have tuned this engine up into about the 795 hp range, which I will use for when I'm AT the strip. Simple change out the impellers in the turbos, give it preemo gas (methanol) and turn the injectors up a wee bit. This car, per me calculations, will be able to make 7-8 second passes on the quartermile. With the stock tires, I had it running a quarter in 11.4 at 125 mph, but the tires were spinning the entire time, on the detuned 533 hp setup. If anyone wants to come out to the drag strip with me tomarrow, just let me know.
