jason m Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 So the million dollar question is how did it affect acceleration, braking, ride quality, corner grip/speed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 We did think about all of that but decided to create a fast road/race car not an all out race car. We will at some point make a carbon tail gate and may also make some carbon doors, if we do the doors we would make them to take std windows and motors, we don't want to strip the car out we are trying to take a fine line between performance and usability. Got any pics? (I think you posted some before but I forgot) Do the 6 pots weigh more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason m Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Just looked in your garage - that is so nice. BTW how do you find the seats for long trips in terms of comfort ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sherwood Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I find the seats good but my sone gets back ache if he drives long distance, so I think they are ok if they fit you. The improvement in performance and handling is hard to say. Prior to mods car had 360 hub hp, after it had 600 ish hub hp. The car is as fast through 5th as it was through 3rd. we have uprated suspension and grip as these where limiting the car. we will have it fully maped when it goes back on the road this spring.

I will post some up to date pictures when car is back on road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
