You are a brave man, sir! Best of luck with your project! :-)

I have shared this on Facebook. At least 2 and 1/2 more people will now know about the Centerlocks! :-)

Okay, I have asked Ye Poweres That Bee which forum to put this in. :thumbsup: Les

Fantastic! Well done!

Okay, to really treat the idea would be to delve deeply into propulsion, braking and handling. And, before we got done, we would venture into philosophy and morals. (Seriously!) That would take this thread very far away from Scott building the way-cool Scott SLC. Personally, in this thread, I...

That would be an interesting idea. Of course, there are other, much more reliable, efficient and much less expensive alternatives to electricity.

What is the resolution of the screen when it is in backup camera mode? Thanks! :thumbsup:

Hey, that's an idea, Scott! Why not write up the build in a novel? It could be like Dorothy Sayers, "The Documents in the Case"! The Documents in the Case - Kindle edition by Dorothy L Sayers. Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com. We others can form the snarky Greek...

Looking good! :-)

I am all for sick engines, but I have a question. Mark and Fran: a carbon fiber intake manifold (like the one pictured above) would look really cool in an SLC, but would the carbon fiber survive for long in all the heat and vibration that it would be subjected to back there? Thanks! (back to...

How about using aerogels to insulate from heat, since weight is a problem? Aerogels are among the lightest substances known. Here is an example: BuyAerogel.com | Airloy® X114 High-Temperature Strong Aerogel Tiles Some salespeak from the website: "Airloy™ X110 series materials from Aerogel...

Dear Scott: What is happening here? Me? Scare YOU? Hahahahahaha! Nah!! Me? Discredit your design? No way! What is happening here? What is happening here is the normal, messy human-to-human process of communication, aided and hindered by the electronic medium through which you and I...

Super! Thanks for the photos!!!

It does indeed look amazing. I, however, hope the aerodynamics are really good. With such a fast car as the SLC, aerodynamics is a major concern. Even the professionals sometimes get it wrong, with poor results: Les

Great article on your track day, Howard! Well done!

Fantastic! Especially since you did not neglect your family! :-)

After the air goes through the intercoolers, the air must exit the rear of the car. What path does the air take? What exit at the rear of the car exhausts the intercooling air? You have laid out a formidable project before us: much success to you! Les :thumbsup:

Scott, Perhaps you could camouflage your unsightly “bump” with the Big Honkin' Fin (BHF) that must be sported by LeMans LMP1's and that the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 003 has on its rear deck. True, these cars have no bumps to hide, but the BHF can do wonders for hiding the, err...

When you say "fast", do you mean 1. how quickly can you accelerate to x miles per hour? 2. what is your SL-C's top speed? 3. how quickly can your SL-C cover x distance (a quarter mile, a lap of a particular race course, laps over x time {1 hour, 24 hours})?

Tom! Are you a structures guy or a stress guy? My brother has worked for Boeing just about as long!
