The engines are all broken in on the engine dyno,......

Throttle steer, indeed.

Of course Gamroth does not believe in braking - unless it serves to rotate the car!
160 is very close, given the 275 rear tires on her.

You are SO right about Gamroth's technique,.....

Claudia will be enroute to her stable over the weekend and should be in Kai's hands before Tuesday.

Then,......the fun really begins.

I'd give anything to be there when its unloaded and he has a chance to look it all over,........

Stevie didn't mention the nitrous bottle and the third gear relay for it.

Now that's a proper race motor, I love it. That is going to be fun, you're going to have to learn how to drive that car all over again.

That video clip should be labeled NSFW.
My pants just got tight.

Boy yer right there Phil. It is a no holds barred (less 50hp) GT car, purpose built to do one thing.

She is being picked up today for a hotshot to me here. I have three days scheduled at Hallett next weekend.

Odd thing is I'm not excited or nervous at all about driving and working up back to whatever speed we can find...I find the driving part far easier as I've always been a "run what yew brung" kind of guy.

Finding the last second aside, I think my greatest hurdle will be the "on-off" throttle response and finding the limits there. Once I do, I can't wait to use it!!!

BTW, the guys say the MSC dampers do indeed have a "better" feel and response than the Motons. Steve spoke with Lex about this and there is a reason for that.

Jim, I just couldn't give up the tranny, the front Evo out-farkers and the other goodies I had to loose to go back to Hprep. There is a wonderful gaggle of H cars here out of TX and I would have enjoyed running with them, but...

NASA also beckons and we may have a fine crossover car - until I meet Jay Matus and his GTS4 ride; but we hope to give him a run he hasn't yet seen.

3 1/2 days and counting...

Congrats Kai! GREAT build job. I've got something similar already going and now you've got me thinking about exhaust. I heard your motor on the bench.. didn't do the exhaust note justice. This video now.. DROOOOOL. I'll be back at Hallet this year in my Stock E car. Looking forward to seeing you up there. My 964 build is for the street / DE.
