Question for everyone. Wouldn't you have to de-stroke the LS(x) to get it to rev higher as well? I think I read as much somewhere or another.

It's the girlfriend that makes you wait:lipsrsealed:. Patience wins out eventually :)

Fran was going to post pics of the painted shell. Probably not ready though. :cry:

bumpity bump just because... Side note... I was searching the net and ran across this. Same principle as SLC... big V8/G50 or 930 gearbox/lightweight chassis. (Sorry for temporarily highjacking thread until Fran gives us an update). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLJQYOQG59U

Almost forgot about this thread Wolfe. Thanks for the fix that I just got over. :cry::sweatdrop: Fran. You're holding out on the goods! If this were a demand curve, it would be WAAAAAYYY to the left. Great way to keep the market clamoring for updates.

Fran's is our automotive pusher man lol! Sounds like y'all need the fix lol.

I just wanted to get the forum's opinion on a flat plane LS variant crank engine. I'm a novice when it comes to the inner workings of an engine (lift, cams, valve timing, etc...) and how high HP is gained in an NA motor. What intrigued me about the flat plane crank is how lively it made the...

Thanks for that info! I must say his build is looking quite interesting I wonder how he plans on running the exhaust. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the gearbox mounted backwards,upside down, or a combination of the two in the normal Porsche gearbox w/ LSx combo. If that is the case would...

A search never really answered this question so I figured I'd post it. Has anyone ever thrown both the engine and gearbox from say a 996/7 GT3 into the back of an SLC? The sound and performance of that 3.8L flat six is astonishing in my opinion and they seem to run about the time an infant takes...

Erik, Thanks for bringing me up to speed on your developments. I can't wait to see what the end product is like. Best of luck with your venture. I'm sure the track guys will love it. Lucas

I've been in the market for a BMW M3 for a while as my Z is getting up there in the miles. I decided to research both the 6 speed and DCT and I must say I've fallen in love with the concept of having a DCT in a track day vehicle or DD. Faster shifts, no missed shifts, ability to throw it in auto...

Wow! looks impressive! Thanks for the detailed write-up. I just noticed the Celica headlights on the GTA. Can't wait for the final reveal of what Fran has up his sleeves!

Mr. Jones I may have to take you up on that. I'm currently in the process of joining Army OCS so I think my SLC dreams will have to wait until I'm a commissioned 2LT before I take that big jump. Maybe an SLC will be a gift to myself when I graduate ;-) I'll definitely take you up on that offer...

Wouldn't say that that is a redesign, but a roofless version of a vehicle brought to market in '06/'07. No one is saying that the current model looks bad by any stretch of the imagination. I don't want anyone getting hypersensitive over the topic. I'd just like to see an update to the flagship...

A Ferrari F50/360/430/599 are beautiful cars and are excellent performance vehicles that demand attention as you would say. It doesn't mean that the company rests on its laurels and stops development. But if the lack of development doesn't impede sales, there's no need for a company to make said...

...customizing the actual body of their car to make it more unique than it already is? From reading through threads about the SL-C, I believe it was introduced circa 2007. I was thinking a body redesign is about due, but I know how difficult that would be from a kit car manufacturer to...

@Alex... I actually met Bob last year at Butler Tire here in Atlanta(Marietta) last year. He's a pretty cool dude. I reference the thread I posted and my regret in not getting his contact information before I left. Started to drizzle outside so the night was cut short...

I think it may be blasphemous seeing as though Fran's company is Race Car Replicas, but I'd like to see a more streetable vehicle for his next vehicle. Building a spec racecar is a daunting task by itself. Building a spec racecar that you won't mind doing a cross country trip in (A la the 458...
