It should make a little over 200 hp at the rear wheels and weights around 3200 lbs. I've run it a the drag strip a few time for fun best run was a 14.6 at 98mph. Only power adders are intake/exhaust and ECU. I've built the car for autoX and small road course work, currently the car has won Central Florida Region (west coast) Solo II championship 2004,05,06, and working on 07 it my class E street prepared. I put full suspension, coilover and adjustable control arms late last year. I'm still working on the setup, I stuffed 275/40/17s Victoracers under the car and wear looks good so far. My initial alignment setting look to be 80+% on the money so I'm working with tire pressures and shock settings until I can determine the changes I want to try with the alignment. That's the hardest part with setting up an autoX car you have a limited amount of times to get the job done. Then you have to wait until the next event to see if your changes were better or worse, but I like  the challenge. (in reply to Stealth) Post #: 61
