as far as the red car.. ... the $15k is without the engine and headers.

How many miles/hours can you drive on 52 gallons, do you think? Plus, having a 30gal tank as a passenger will help some of the car balance with you in it

OMG. LOL.. and worse if running E-85. I was getting about 4-4.5 mpg with the turbo version of my car. low boost @360whp. So it all sounds about right.

Don't know how I missed this thread but its very impressive.

I have a few questions though about what tires you plan on running for them to last 4 hours?

Secondly, I like the cage modification for easier access and it likely makes the cage stronger (given the force of a hard side impact would be pushed into the top and bottom rail. So in a way the top rail triangulates the top bar into the main cage so that is good! Overall a very impressive car what class do you plan on running it in?

it comes with an AOR trans btw. and everything to install the LS V8 except the headers and the clutch / bell hosting

the car he's everything imaginable that you could do and still keep it street legal.
