That's a great vid. I am sure the weather will cooperate next year.

So the pics you posted...who owns the yellow Z? and am more curious to find out if the relocated radiator cap was installed to deal with the air/puking coolant issue so many including myself,have had?

You should see the one the guy who built his owns and built. The whole trunk area was cut out to fit the basketball sized turbo in it. It's rediculous. Unfortunately the only pics I have from the parking lot Turbo swap on his and his buddies ridiculous NSX monstrosity are on my phone and too small to post up and see anything really.
Here's some pics of his buddies rediculous NSX I was talking about. I heard it's for sale at around 40K...for 900+whp.

I'm all about the HP, but I don't think I could handle that wing and rear diffuser.

Form follows function.

Did you see the wing on Chris Rado's Scion? FRONT wing...LOL. Ran a 1:22 at Willow Springs which is light years faster than any other front wheel drive car, and one of the fastest times for a unibody car in general.

In no way is that a dig at XKR or his project. His car is being purpose built, so you are correct - form follows function. I was speaking from a street driving standpoint.

At least he could have it molded in a bit to the rear IMO. I can't see the pics you posted Sharif.

I know it was not a dig at me Cass......I am not changing my spoiler and my diffuser is not going to look like that. It will look like one piece with the rear bumper. Terry is working his azz off to make it look stock.

YUP... going to keep under triple digits the bulk of the time. This is of course assuming that my car ever sees the street again. It seems to enjoy hanging out in shops mostly .

If XKR get back on the road by the end of the month, and I'm still in the shop I may have some sort of mental meltdown.

Exclamation Stillen takes Top Dawg trophy!!

just thought i would update this thread... the statement that no one won the Top Dawg trophy this year is a misnomer...no...a complete UNTRUTH! there was one CLEARLY DOMINANT and ALL POWERFUL F/I beast that simply smoked all competition... and here are the pics to prove it:









sorry for the crappy phone pics... it's all i had after spending my life savings on the pictured Stillen twin-screwed beast above!!
