dan, that's a roll bar.. a cage would have 2 more bars coming off the top of the main hoop going fowards and then down either coming through the dash or bent around it ( it would look better and be easier to get in and out of the car if they went trough the dash) going to 1/8" plates on the floor.. also the side bars would be connected to them. how come the guy did'nt make it with swing out side bars? easier to get in and out of if it had them. are the side interior panels still in the car(where the main hoop is) ?

Default W00T W000t!

Gang,

I witnessed this car run an 11.7 at Englishtown tonite!

It gave me chills!

Several Z owners from this board were there with me to see it!

WE all had the same reaction!

Dan, nice to meet you! Good luck!

I took some pics =)ENJOY.

Interesting, what are the lights in the nav compartment for?? Man, that is a real looking race car, although seems like you guys really haven't done anything wild to the engine other than the NOS. This car seems to be ready for a ultra fast future.

What size rims and slicks are those in the rear? I have a hard time catching traction, and i want to go buy a set of slicks but don't know what size to buy. So if you can let me know what size they are. thanks

Default Redundant tach?

That's a Shweeeeeeeet car!!! I just have one question about it. Why install a $299.00+ Autometer tach when there is that nice big tach sitting right in front of you in the cluster already?? It even has a shift light. Just curious.

because factory tach's react slow... they could have just used a msd shift light and gotten the same accurate rpm for shifting(same as using the tach and light they have)

Default Re: Re: Redundant tach?

At night the red light from the OEM tach is imposible to read, the new Tach also records our runs for replay of shift points.

we will also be removing the rev-limiter and changing the redline.

it also looks really cool
