Don't start with me!!

No way she will make the power the E makes. Your GT30's could hit 850rwhp without braking a sweat.

You are fine in the DS department. Your drive shaft is made of pure Chrome molly, could hold up to 1500-1800 whp. The maker told me if I break it he will make me one for free.

Lol I have nothing. I'll be lucky to break mid/low 11s from what some members speculate, lets focus on the real players here: Jody may say otherwise but you dont get a laundry list of mods unless your going for some record

And yeah let me know when your ready to part ways with your seats.

They are still tiny compared to the wheels of the GT30. Half liter will only help down low. I may get you out the hole.. from a roll, no chance.

I think you should focus on weight savings, that's where it's at.

You really want my anchors? Sure, shoot me a price. They need refinishing though.

Nasty parts, I just got a rager looking at those carbon rotors. Seen your name else where twisting drive lines, glad you got the big boy toys! I have some CL55 ABC lines if you want used ones. HMU!

Not much you could do but replace some parts here and there and keep it civilized and refined as the car is. Now you could take it to the other end and start hacking away at the ABC, Interior, Compressor, A/C system etc.... That would drastically reduce weight. You might get in the high 3K in weight.

Awesome man, what type of intakes are you going with? I can't wait for this build to start. Are you gonna start a new build thread or keep everything flowing in this one?

Finally found some time to work on the car. So far gutted the primary cats, installed rear Trunk Reservoir, custom CAI and just did an ECU tune. This weekend at PBIR there is a ford event, I will be attending it but more for test and tune. After this week will be installing all the lightweight mods and BLack series turbos.

Good luck this weekend, we know you have experience with CL65s and we know you can drive a white V12TT. Now lets see what happens when you put them together. LOL It will be nice to see what you run before and after the weight reduction mods and BS turbos. Enjoy!!!
