Bruce, sorry I missed your question. So far it just runs through the Motec. Can't say I managed to use them for much more than establishing that I ran out of rear travel before the incident!

OK, thanks Patrick. I've been trying to read on budget systems. Doesn't look too bad to set up for very little cash.

UPDATE..

I spent twice as long as I hoped to finish these. (As always) but I got them done So my car can start to get painted while I go back to making Tbar Deletes.

About 15 fabrication hours later, this is what I have accomplished. Much of the detail is hard to see. It won't be evident until they are painted. But you should catch most everything in these pics. Take one last look at her while shes white. It will be the last time you see her that way. Super race car paint job coming soon. - about 1-2 weeks. In the meantime, I will get to finish the Tbar delete orders and get to Powder coat and set up all the parts for installation. I REALLY can't wait for that part. The last part will be Engine installation, as I still have much to do on it before I can actually install it in the car. I'm crossing my fingers for final wiring and starting the engine within a month? - DARE I SAY.

Judging by her looks, her future colors, and her new whiskers, I might call her the angry catfish. Lol. no.. no I won't.

Spence, I guess It's ok to answer you.. ? Maybe not. $950 ea. It takes 2 weeks to make at the moment, (unless a week vacation planned a year in advance happens. ) but I am gaining more and more pre-made parts as I go, So I think that time frame is going to shrink considerably over the next few weeks. But I have to finish 2 at the moment (almost all parts are cut, but not welded up) And 2 more when the back order of Turn Buckles comes in. (due at end of week) I ordered enough for 5 more after that. I might take a break from them after those 5. I'm a little worried about mentioning it to tell you the truth, for fear of 5 more orders! LOL.

Is "Angry Catfish" the same as "dirty, smelly angry Tuna", because you could just name the car after Rock's last girlfriend!

OH MAN...... That's.... just gross.. ROFL.

I was actually holding back to a real name. It's color scheme is truly close to a large fish. Shark. JAWZ. But then that just sounds like another version of ORCA, so I will just leave it at LS6951.

I remember that pic of the F1 car which provided inspiration for the paint job Bruce. It's going to be all time!!

What ECU are you going to use btw?

Man, I hope so. Im still fighting with how to interpret it on this car. Too difficult to match with such different lines.

That's the beauty of the LS6. Stock ECU has TONS of programming avail. All my data will be logged on the Racepack IQ3

? are you asking me to lift my skirt up!? But seriously.. wha?

I scored this used. It looks brand new and It was half the price of new. I was sure I was going to meet the guy and see a torn up wing. I couldn't believe it. I wanted to run away like I stole it after we exchanged hands. the car needs a little more sanding, but its flat white because its being prepped for paint. I added another pic of the old wing. Quite a difference. The bad news is that I have to completely abandon my original uprights for the wing. The aluminum stands will stay, but I will add more support from the base underneath the bodywork where the actual wing mounts are. Then I will bolt it to the body there.

Jesus that wing is epic. Wow!

Bruce, I hope to the baby Jesus that your driving skills are at least half as good as your car. This will be one outrageous car. It'll be quicker than GT3 Cups I'd wager...Dum Dum Dum.

Haha.. Compared to the new wing, the old one looks like it could be a front spliltter, doesn't it?

AMEN BROTHER. This car is now beyond my driving skills. Which is why I needed it so I can "level up"... I think a little more than half as good as the car, but not much. (I'm exaggerating) There is a certain point where skill ends and just a large amount of ***** to drive anywhere near its limits comes into play. I don't foresee having those for some time. A Bigger wallet does help with the bigger, "don't care" factor, but I don't see that happening anytime soon either.
- OH and a few more things.
-.. Baby Jesus grew up to be a grown man. With a Beard. But maybe you prefer to think of him as the Christmas little baby Jesus?
-I'm all hopped up on Mountain Dew!

- Relax non movie goers. These are quotes from The Will Ferrell Movie, Taladega Nights.

In the old set up, I was already faster than GT3 "drivers" as their cars were clearly beyond their owners capabilities. A Somewhat serious note on that though. I will be terrified to break this car for quite a while. Years, I'm sure. So maybe all the GT3 and GT2 whatever drivers are afraid of the same thing. They love their cars, so they are driving slower to ensure the car is safe? I think many are, and I will slow down on the insults to them.. I can't stop of course, but I will slow down.
