| Aussie SL-C Photos
Thought these photos may interest some here.
A customer getting his SL-C ready for racing this weekend at Queensland Raceway.
Photos from dyno session and loading it onto the trailer.
Will post more photos from the racing.

Nice work! What LS/tranny? What are your plans for the intake airbox? Any "add-on" tricks we should know about? Can't wait for your track impressions.

Like the airbox too. Interesting dual radiator expansions tanks, one for overflow?
Appears to be a 930 gearbox, not sure. |

Question, i didn't notice any exhaust on this SLC, is it open header? Looks like an LS7 or LS3? Love to hear what RWHP you made on the dyno. | |

SL-C Specs:
Stock LS7
Porsche G50 Transaxle
Black Gelcoat
From rear the left round tank is radiator header, right is radiator overflow. Round cut outs in the body above them for access
Exhaust is just our factory test set up. Stock LS7 headers straight into single offset high-flow mufflers that dump towards the ground at a 45 degree in front of the tyres.
Test run on the dyno to do initial set up yielded 419rwhp. Dyno operator said with a full tune they would get about 500rwhp.
The owner is absolutely stoked with the performance of the SL-C. He is having a ball. It's only it's first day on the track, so just using it as a run in session. He might get more serious tomorrow.
It was fantastic to see the reaction to the SL-C. Every time it was in the pits, it drew a huge crowd.
Looking forward to tomorrow.

Man, I like the look without the wing. Craig, no wonder to me about the crowds loving it. I bet a bunch thought it was a Group1 car...minus a wing of course.
Truly beautiful.

The SL-C is spectacular either with or without the wing. I will likely run mine with the wing as I believe it adds to the bad-ass nature of the beast! | |

Awesome pictures Craig. That is one good lookin' car. Any chance you'd get an SL-C and SL-R on the track together? | |
