finally got this thing back on the road. we will see how long this transmission lasts


low boost (5psi), the air was hot, the roads were hot, my tires were hot, and i was on concrete. not a bad combination... i actually got traction in 2nd, which was a first for this car.

this is a roll in second gear from about 30mph. keep in mind, my speedometer is reading about 10% low, probably because of tire size, so when i am doing 90mph, its actually closer to 100mph (gps verified )

i also have the stock transmission in, so i was shifting kindly lol. full interior, with two people in the car.

yeah its a bp. and this car has all the power it needs at this point. i literally have the boost as low as i can have it right now, until i upgrade my transmission. it made 243whp at 11 psi last year, and it weighs 1600lbs with me in it. you do the math :)

it sucks to think that if i rolled up to this thing on the streets, it would likely whoop my ass.

So is it just a "lats try that" toy? Either way fun to see. But why?
