    equal length is hard to do on these type manifolds . This manifold weighs 8.5 lbs! The previous one out of Schedule 40 was 23.5 lbs!!!!!

    If you rush it you end up with a Spintex and a car on Jack-stands for a few years.

    yes, the plan is to make turn key race cars
    some will have the stock trans and this is the upgraded version
    dog gears are being made for stock trans for those that want flat foot shifting

    suspension is all from scratch.........

    ARP said for this application the studs supplied will do the trick
    the manifold is supported. It's just not on there yet:devil:

    More than just money, driving ability too. At 250 WHP, most people will be able to drive it fast with a fairly short learning curve, given it's weight distribution. 600WHP, you're getting into professional driver territory, not everyone can handle that. Nice thing though it that mods on this engine have been so well sorted out that you can always move up. This is a VERY purpose built car, and it really doesn't need a ton of WHP to be competitive. 600WHP in this is going to put you in rare air, perhaps literally if you don't know how to drive it.

    When you're this light, even "just" 250 WHP is going to be fast, very fast, but manageable. It'll still have a better HP to weight ratio (and more WHP, since the 260 is at the crank) than an Exige 260, and with the aero, should be pretty close in that department. And those suckers are friggin' rockets.
