Thanks - tribute car to the Supercup series that runs with the F1 circus. My main reason for choosing it was it worked with my car color.

[QUOTE="Gary R.;11175067"]Car is sweet rick! One thing I would do is pull the passenger seat, that halo really blocks your vision. For DE's it's not a big deal and I can appreciate the added safety if you plan on taking people out.. Gorgeous car...[/QUOTE
Thanks, Gary
Hey, that's a brand new seat you want to pull out!
I do a fair # of ride alongs and wanted the seat to have same level of protection.
Now if I were racing...

Dave - welcome home. Glad you had a good trip. I expect we can travel to Danbury on the 15th. With luck I can even haul the car back.
Yep, back home freezing my *** off. Looking forward to hanging on the 15th. I need to shovel my way into my trailer to get a bunch of wheels out and stuff for Dennis to bring to SST.
Looking forward to it.

car looks amazing in person. a shame to put it on the track. I'd just park it in my living room.

pics don't come close to doing it justice.

That is sort of my reputation (the living room part).
I was talking with our older son last night telling him it was silly to spend the extra on the graphics, but really, it is just a few % of the total cost, so why not?
Glad you like it; me too.

Graphics are awesome; nice meaningful tribute, aesthetically pleasing, and in the spirit of those Interseries Caymans.

Beautiful - silly question, but how are the graphics applied? Wrap?

And it looks really, really good. Your vision is all that matters.

Not a wrap, which would be the whole car; instead it is individual pieces of vinyl (like decals).
You and Nat are welcome to ride along!

Rick,

this came out sooo awesome! The only thing I would now recommend is clear bra on the front and behind the wheel wells.

I was just looking over the specs from your first post. It looks like you held to the original plan in most ways. Did you do anything on the intake or exhaust sides? Looks like a different muffler. Software? Did you get a final weight?
