Nice car.

Just 1 question.
are yor figures right? thats over 20% loss from engine to wheels (similar to my Impreza) I thought normally rwd cars would be around 10-15%loss.

RWHP will look for fly sheet

Edited by 007 VXR on Monday 10th May 16:50

Very nice, although I agree, it's more "accepted" that manual cars, especially ones sporting the t56 tend to lose more like 12-15% via the drivetrain.


So more like 567-587hp fly.

But serious grunt none the less!!!!!

thanks have dyno sheet with 635.3 hp fly . from same run on the dyno. will load pic

Fantastic motor!
Not trying to be stalkerish but I'm sure I saw you in it today. It looked great and the sound was amazing. I rarely get to here an LS engine from the outside on the road as I'm normally passengering in my old man's vette, so it was good to hear.

thanks .... where were you today ?? was out and about today

from norwich to kent via a couple of pits stop and joy

Thats funny actually, I'd driven down from Norwich the day before and stopped in Epping. I saw you though through the average speed check part of the m25 on route to the Dartford crossing. You may have noticed my tired looking red MX5 with silver roof? I had a lack of joy as I was sweltering in the heat.

i remember you looked over because my brother used to have a soft top one , and it reminded me of his

I wonder if you would notice if it went missing, along with the engine.

Would it fit in an Audi? Keep the pics coming, especially the work in progress ones.
