Claudia - V2.1 Begins
I'm really excited, so I must share the first update on Claudia's build now...without pics.
She arrived Rothsport early this week, Jeff called and we discussed weight reduction and the "build sheet". The car will come in at 2500# with cage - without driver. This puts her right where she needs to be for NASA GTS3 and PCA GT4S.
Steve Weiner tells me he expects the new MCS suspension to be in by mid-week - he'll do up a blurb about them at that point.
Gamroth will do his magic with the heads and with headers, we fully expect 305hp - and will see what she tosses out at the rear wheels with her new Tilton race clutch. Weiner will then burn another chip to de-tune down to whatever we need for the NASA weight/whp ratio - for PCA we'll be underpowered for the time being...but I am not rready to drive a 360hp 964 at the limit anyway.
I just had to let go and share a little bit and hope to have pics as time goes by...and contributions from Steve as the build progresses.

Here's Claudia, minus the squirrel; the second image is with the door removed as we are installing CF ones.

Hi honey...I miss you more than you could ever know.
But it's cold and wet here and you're with friends.
But beware, they want to cut your roof off!!!

I was down at the shop with Steve with a camera... you car is going to be great when they're done with it... except when Steve wasn't looking I slipped about 45 lbs of stuff into the nether regions of the bodywork: Cans of baked beans, beer, as well as some spare tools that I saw lying around the shop.
