It's still got the original 3.0L motor with a little freshening. It put out 210 hp at the rear wheels when I had it dyno'd a couple of weeks ago.

The motor has been lightly massaged. I never intended to build a competitive PCA classed GT3 race car otherwise the motor would have been pushed to 3.4L. The engine stayed 3.0L for nostalgia reasons. The top end was sent to Ollies in SoCal to get hand ported and race springs. The cam is a mild 964 OEM cam. The pistons are euro SC OEM pistons. I have SSI's going to a M&K 2 in 2 out muffler, which is very light weight and registers at 95 dB at Laguna Seca (50' from the right side of the track).
The car last weighed at 2205 with half a tank of gas and no driver. I have a plastic windshield due in from MotoDelta Motorsports (http://moto-delta.com/) that should save me 17-20 lb. I can remove the Recaro Pole Position from the passenger side and save more weight. This should get me down to around 2160 lb. It is still not competitive with the long nose 911's that weigh 1900 lb. I guess I could cut off the roof, but I have no desire to spend that kind of cash right now.

My cage runs through the fire walls to the suspension and is tied to the A and B pillars as well as the floor. The car is stiff. I don't see it getting any lighter until I can improve allot as a driver!
