Maybe not us car guys. But to the average plebeian, if it lacks the anticipated exterior embellishments that traditionally signify 'fast', it will probably be mistaken for a Saturn. In 2012, I am ok with this.

Oh, they will expect it to have power, no doubt. However, how much power is another story.

It isn't like you see a 1g with this set-up running around on a daily basis or anything.

And, there are still plenty of clean 1gs scooting about that aren't laying down huge power...

Thought I'd comment,

B.e.a.utiful car brotha,

GoodLuck on obtaining 800HP, that would be a fun ass car to drive!

[awdxtc]

Thank you, I will keep you all updated through the process.

Looks like a simular setup. I love the way top mount manifolds look. Kick ass clutch & transmission, holy shit 14 grand is no joke!

[awdxtc]

Thanks mark actually the cost for clutch and transmission is $11700 another $1800 for transfer case

[Mark Leasure]

How much was the carbon/carbon clutch? It's a nice piece!

[awdxtc]

about $5500

[DSMINMN]

Wow, I wish I had money like this. Awesome build so far.

[Mark Leasure]

That's some serious $$$. Wow. I would love to see how a carbon clutch launches. I cannot control my quarter master slippage consistently, resulting in broken shit.

[CornFed2.4]

$5500 for a clutch thats just sick! Im sure its probably worth it though.

Brakeman?

[awdxtc]

No lol, I can't see a reason to spend that kind of money on brakes. The only real advantage to me would be the weight savings, sure it would be nice but not that nice. I have I got 2 piston calipers with pads that have a really high bite at cold temps. Breaks don't get real hot in the short amount of time that you use them for during a drag race. I think I might end up with willwoods at some point but for now I am using stock calipers, stainless lines and axxis ultimate pads.
