if its the stock-ish car, who cares... if its the fancy car... who cares! just because the fancy car will have fancy parts, lots of time, money and blood invested into it.. doesnt mean it will work as planned in your mind. there are fancy parts that you buy, and that suck and dont meet expectations. point being? drive it, tune it, build it, and enjoy constantly making those adjustments.. on ANY of the cars, and quit bitching and worrying about fucking it up.

afterall Mr T, if you fuck it up.. you can always FAB up another one. i mean, its obvious your handy.. all you need is a set of matching balls so that you can man-up and really enjoy what you own.

if you DONT do what i say, you're going to lead the rest of your life.. with a vagina in your pants - scared to drive anything because you're afraid of getting fucked.

Isnt it obvious by what im saying that we are talking about the same thing? I dont give a shit about what happens to the car...ive made that very clear...I bought this car for driving and beating and thats whatll happen to it....t minus 1 month almost to the day til it sees track day number one!

Gav,

I follow what you are saying. Its a good idea to learn techniques like braking, turning, weight transfer and other like things. Plus its not a car you just put tons of time and money into. I will say that i agree with others as well about the power difference and a NA vs FI vehicle. They are totally different animals. It will take some time to get used to going from your practice car to your beast. Atleast you will have most of the techniques down by then so all you will have to worry about is the power difference.

I suggest for the first few times you go out in the race car, you hit events that have no walls or light post, just cones. Please keep us updates if you build any new stuff or paint the beast. I really like your build man.

congrats on the excellent plan! whileI was building my LS1FC,there were so many events I had to pass on because the car just wasnt complete yet... but if I had a 2nd car with at least some basics done to it so I could have attended events, I would have been much happier and probably learned thru experience/faster what mods the beast car did need and what mods were not necessary.

awesome plan, nice score on the deals and MORE PICS!

it actually was not at all
i hopped in tons of cars of various power and you just adapt

stop being a little bitch and take ur car to the track.

Power isn't a huge issue.

Particularly on a nice setup like a 3071 TS.

You just enter earlier and scrub the speed and your back to square one.


PS. never ending story build is gay as fuck.`put the one car on the track and stfu.

Shrug.

Transient on a 3071 TS is almost as good as my 2560.

god forbid I formulate my own opinion based on driving rather than stare at "full load lug it from 2k rpm and I can say it spools awesome dynos" on fresh alloy.
