You and MFletch should get together and compare notes. Great job looks like loosing allot of weight. I think there was a wright up of the GT3 and the added plates welded in for extra strength around the rear quarter panels maybe something to look into.

That is a very familiar sight. I still occasionally see it in my nightmares. Trj, you are a brave man to do that to your perfectly good X51 street car. I admire you for doing it. I was very tempted to go that route, and try to keep it so I could still drive it to the track. That is going to be an incredible track car with the reduced weight, welded in cage, and X51 package. Thanks for sharing the progress.
Mother, how is the engine search going?
