T is for Targa maybe?

Car made 475hp at DB with the stock air filter and running a point rich at 11.5:1. We suspected it was also missing a little with the stock plugs and wires, so I went a step colder and gapped them down from .055 to .045 and got some nice MSD high temp wires. I also had the o2 issues fixed at Doug Rippie this past week and got it retuned with the K&N air intake that came with the car so now I'm guessing the car makes in the low 500's. This is still about 20hp lower than it should be because of the small exhaust that's on the car, I'll get that figured out in the next month or so. If I get aftermarket heads, TB, porting intake, etc, I'm probably looking at spending $4k and high 500's for power. Not ready to drop that kind of cash for quite some time.

It does have a pretty big cam in it, 15* of overlap which makes idle nice and lopey but a bitch to drive in rush hour or parking lots. Or really anything under 1500 rpms and light throttle is jerky. The Monster stage 4 six puck grabby clutch doesn't help either, it's actually somewhat difficult to drive at first.

It has obvious traction issues in 1st, and in 2nd on a hard shift or at high rpm from a roll. However, the 305 wide Invos do pretty well compared to the stock runflats in 285 width from what I've read.

Yeah, I'm not sure where the t-top reference came from, they haven't had those since 1982.

Mod list looks awesome, I'm starting to think a C6 is in my future, probably stock. I'm actually a little sick of modded cars. Cars are so good from the factory now, that modding just isn't what it used to be. Or maybe I'm just getting old.

Congrats. Got to see this at the dyno day as well. Very mean looking. I love all black C6's

It depends on what you are doing. I wish I'd bought a $10k track car and a truck/trailer instead of the Evo. I would have been much better off.

What fuel are you running? Will 93 support 11.5:1 ?

Sitting in this thing, it felt like a tank. Hopefully I can get a ride sometime! :)

Very nice on the power, great place to be especially with how light the car is.

Never mind on the t top...I am retarded :)
