I gotta tell you guys...i am afraid of this car! This thing is scarey. I took it out for a bit today...does not stay straight. From a standstill in 2nd gear the thing roasted the tires. I'll take some pictures this weekend and I'll also try to get some video footage

That's damn ridiculous! Can't wait for the vids
All that work and such a long wait and you're already wanting to sell?

Mitch,
Glad to see that it is finally done. The numbers are crazy, maybe it's time to invest in some extremely sticky rubber and oversized wheels. What kinda torque you getting? Are you still using the TH400 or something different. This is all on pump gas? WOW is all I can say.

Can't believe that you would even contemplate selling it now since spring is right around the corner and the roads must be getting really nice soon.

BTW there is a thing called a boost controller which can be dialed in to lower your HP numbers Ya know you don't need all 600 ponies every time you come to a stop light. I really feel sorry for the guy behind you since most of the time he'll be seeing and smelling burnt rubber. The other thing you could do is stick a block below the gas pedal and then you won't have to worry about buying tires so often

Have fun

Now you and that other guy hmmm what's his name? TTurbopimp can have a blast around town.

umm, ok.... now seriously, what's good in that except the bragging right on the power? don't get me wrong, that's very impressive power and i am shocked too, however, you still need to find a way to put that power on the gnd

and what? just done and you are selling the car?

Can you get a chart with the RPM vs HP and RPM vs TQ? That chart looks nice. Nice ans smooth. The torque curve looks like it'd be relatively flat all the way.

Congrats.
