Unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to get Bob's number (phone died while taking pictures), but I did give him my business card so hopefully he doesn't forget about me. From our short conversation, he's had a few dealings with Fran so if he'd like to give him a holler and invite him on...

An SLC at Butler Tire here in Atlanta. Guy buy the name of Bob (insert last name I forgot here). Was a pretty cool dude though. Knew a lot about the car and spoke glowingly of both Fran and the car. Seeing the SLC in person does this car much more justice than any photo can replicate. I knew the...

Yeah that's def. an insane set up. You can't go wrong with any high HP Bimmer motor IMHO. Retaining some amount of gas mileage and more than enough hp than I or 90% of the people on this forum can completely handle (driving 692hp to 100% of its capabilities is RARE).

YouTube - 359 km/h (224 mph) G-Power Hurricane RS BMW M5 Touring GPS-verified on PerformanceBox The S85B0 is probably one of the most difficult (electronically) engines to work with when it comes to tuning and aftermarket parts. Somehow the guys over at g-power have cracked that code. I...

YouTube - Mercedes Benz S63 AMG Sound Exhaust & Manifold MOD's 600HP + High HP/TQ V8 without the obnoxious popcorn... question is... can it fit in an SLC? Don't know if anyone's raised the possibility of a Merc V8 in an SLC. I know the v12 won't fit though.

My homeowner's association would hop down my throat for bringing something that obnoxiously loud in my neighborhood ;). I got enough flack when I put test pipes on my 350z. Sounds like he's popping porpcorn in his truck though. Horrible IMO. Just my $.02. To each his/her own though.

I love the LS option for a powerplant... but is there any way to get high hp gains without an aggressive cam set up? I hate the whole burp burp burp I'm popping popcorn sound coming from the back end of a beautiful. Some people like their cars to sound "dirty" but IMHO it doesn't go with the...

Fran has clones on deck... or maybe even a shop full of elves working 24/7...

My question is... if you give someone $22k for a product.. you should expect that product to fall in line with what the seller is stating it will be. Claiming the "other" car is a 250-300hr build is simply false advertising. Quoted from F5R FAQs: How long does it take to build the...

Hey Alex please play guinea pig and get the LSX454R crate motor... 720hp/680tq with the ability to handle 2k+... That kinda power for $15kish is a deal IMHO. Oh and soon after you build is complete I would enjoy a test drive... just sayin :)

Hey Garland I live in metro Atlanta so if you ever need a set of spare hands let me know man.

Simply put... No... carbon composite brakes are $15k if you can run across a used set of ZR1s. They're significantly more expensive new apparently. I'd get a set of carbon fiber wheels and save an est. $8k and put that towards the motor. Just my $.02. I may be wrong and someone more experienced...

Fran the more and more I think about it... the more and more I'm leaning towards your product... I was on the other forum and Shane broke down what it would cost me to get the body work done(I have min. exp.) on the GTM if I were to outsource the labor and it would align with the $20k difference...

Boost controller limited per gear... at least that's how they'll set it up for you... and and aftermarket TCS would help

Sittin' back with my :lurker:. Can't wait to see the final product.

Well if one was to have a form following function mindset I don't think they'd care much for the "shiny" carbon fiber... but it's yet to be done like that on a production car outside of the Zonda R (Dry CF). Zonda F has the shiny stuff :).

As Fran stated earlier, apparently they've built a g50 that can handle all that TQ without exploding. How this is done... I have no clue. Usually high HP builds have gone the Ricardo route. Nelson claims their motors could be daily driven so I would assume they'd back their product somewhat...

Was just pricing out LS7s when I ran across a few of the typical youtube dynos for LS(x) engines. The general cost from what I've seen is $12k-$16k depending on the vendor. Summit Racing is 30 minutes from where I live so that would be an ideal supplier. Here's the but though... I ran across...

C'mon Alex YouTube - You can do it montage. But on a serious note... It would make more sense to just put the money into the motor instead... but if $$$ was not an option... why not both lol :)

Yeah I guess at the end of the day it all depends on how much $$$$ you're willing to spend. I've heard getting CF to mold correctly is a PITA as it doesn't stretch much for contours. So labor costs would skyrocket I'm assuming. We just need to find someone that doesn't care about going deep into...
