Yeah, the angle does make it look inverted, however it is not. The bottom of the wing is just like an airplane wing. The top, the side you can't see, if flat from front to back. It's from GT Racing in Colorado. Hank calls it the "Preditor wing". The exhaust is FVD headers and straight back, no cats, no mufflers. Power??....

I wish I had more updated pics but the car has only been running for two events since the new motor. The Daytona video and the Sebring video below are the most up to date. The other video clips on you tube under 01986 are older, when I was running the stock 3.2L

Here is one more picture of the car back when I raced it with the 3.2L at Homestead.

Looks to be about a 2:44 judging by the Youtube timer, but those videos are hardly scientific.

Care to comment, Brinkley - yes/no?

before, when I was running my 3.2L, my best time based on my AMB transponder was 2:28.5. I am hoping that my times are better now that I have the larger motor. However, I need more time to get back into the flow, without the problems I've been dealing with. Video analysis shows that comparing times of the 5 main straights and comparing those straight away times, new vs. old, I am 4 seconds a lap faster now! However, the overall lap times have been in the 2:32 plus range. This tells me that I was breaking too much for the corners. More seat time will fix that. I would love to be 4 seconds better than my best 2:28.

That is unbelievable!!!!! Okay forget my bucket of bolts, I want that. Are you in the US or overseas? What class or club do you run with if your in the US? You have taken the silouette rules of the 80's and moved them into the new millennium! OUTSTANDING. I won't even ask how much but how long has it taken to get to that point?
Any video?

I race in Central America, it is basically an SCCA GT2 car that is trying to compete with the GT1 guys with V8's. We actually may be going to a one off engine based on indy V8's that will be under 3.6 ltrs, turn 12,000 RPMs and make 800 or so HP on enthanol. We will see...

If we do that the engine will be for sale....

If we dont we will sell the car...

Nice video!

What the hell was that E36 M3 and what looked to be a Camaro Vert doing on that track holding everyone up?

Anyway it was nice to watch someone who actually posts a driving video that can hit an APEX! Nice driving
