ordinarydude -- in the paint and body shop's showroom, nearly ready, on Tuesday:
done at the paint and body shop, about to be pulled up onto the flatbed headed back to the main build shop, about 2 hours ago:
engine bay, taken at first in-car start back in February (paint and body shop had it for 3-1/2 months) (that shop basically does only show cars and exotics, and that's just how it goes with them):
my main build guy thinks it just might make 1300 HP (1100 rear-wheel) (15.5% drivetrain loss), at least 1250 a virtual certainty -- on pump 93, all air/no nitrous, fully street-legal -- he's already bugging me to let him put real drag slicks and skinnies on it (would have to swap in smaller but adequate rear brakes to fit the wheels for the real drag slicks) and go rent the track for an evening in early fall, believes it'll run the quarter in the the high 8s at about 170 -- which would (running in the 8s) be a first for a streetable, let alone fully street-legal, manual tranny C5 or C6, certainly on pump 93, and as far as we know even with higher-octane racing fuel and/or nitrous
should be ready for delivery, after certain final build work and full 'get it to run like a Swiss watch at all engine speeds/throttle positions/loads' tuning including the chassis dyno pulls, in about 2 weeks
