[Irishman]

[dagamore]

very cool build, whats it run at the track?

 

[Scott]

Sweet build and a very nice (fast I am sure) car!

 

[concours_greg]

Right on the Indiana/Ohio border by Cincinnati.

Never gonna see the track! I know go ahead and bash me. The car is built as a street killer. Mostly highway and country roads.

Not really concerned about 1/4 mile times. I could have built about three race cars for what this thing has in it.

The whole idea behind the car is to try and make something special that is driven on the street, and be driven across country if need be.

I dont understand why people build highway monsters when in the states you cant drive them like they should be driven, but hey its your money, and its still a nice car!

 

[antonio1988]

Very nice car man, props to you!

 

[ZmanM3]

Nice car, I like what you have done with it. Excellent first post too.

 

[BMWM3]

I applaud you, I envy you, and I'm jealous I wish I would have invested money like you did into both of my mustangs instead of wasting it on my camaro and corvette. I get more heads to turn and more people to tell me nice car than when I'm driving my 69 maro or my older model vette. VERY VERY clean looking car and engine Sir.

Very true, but...

If you look at it that way, why would an American buy any exotic car. Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Z06, GT500, etc.. None of these cars can be driven at their full potential either - legally! That is exactly what those cars are, highway killers. If you had an F-40 you could never get it out of 2nd gear, so why have one?

A Prius can reach the maximum speed limits here, but I wouldn't drive one.

I agree, maybe it is a little silly, but it's what I wanted.

We all like our toys, and that's exactly what it is.

I get that question all the time.

"Why do you need all that power when you live in Hawaii (Oahu) and there isn't a track here and no where to drive to?"

Then again, this wasn't my 1st choice of places to live. I hopefully will get off this island and to a track soon.

I like what you've done with the car, it looks great!

WOW!!! Thats all that comes to mind is WOW!!!

that came to my mind too, but second. First thing that came to my mind was; "can I have your old stuff" ?? Hahahaha,,,,

It looks like a great build but I just have to question this... 505 rwhp with a M90? Who's dyno? Who's tuning it?

 

[Vcoat]

I love what you did. I can never get the same rush at the track as I do on the street! Legal or not a street beast is the way to go!

Yes sir.

It was making about 10 - 10.5 of boost. That was with a 2.57" S/C pulley and a 10% overdrive crank pulley from BBR. It didn't break 500 HP until I put the electric water pump on it and upgraded the fuel system.

I will say this... I think the stock motor was at it's limit. When we pulled the pan there was a lot of metal shavings down there.

Chris from BBR wrote the tune. A local shop, Fehring Motorsports, tweaked it just a tiny bit, and I mean tiny bit. Two runs and it was flat as could be. I give Chris at BBR all of the credit for the tune.

Right....

Couple of pics from underneath.

 

[concours_greg]

Right....

I was noticing your signature. How the heck did you get 525 out of yours. That it awesome. I thought I was able to squeeze out a few more than most people, but 525... nice!
