Why does that last shot remind me of Transformers?
I expect it'll be the view most others see.

I hope so but given my lack of talent, I dont think that will be the case.
One thing I don't understand is why the turbos? You can get an aluminum 408ci with some wicked heads to get an excellent endurance engine with 600+hp. I see a lot of money done to everything except the engine, which is great, but the more parts the engine has to deal with, the more likely something is going to break, hence the classic big displacment pushrod comes in handy. I absolutely love the car though, its nice to see some quality work done and can't wait for videos.
Nice work.
Nice work.
I believe AIX is 2,700# :shrug:
Yep, with driver, full dress:

Thanks.
I went the remote turbo route because I just wanted wanted to try it after I got rid of the supercharger, I agree that you can get decent hp with a nasty N/A lump but I was looking for bit more.
600+hp will be under powered compared with the current crop of AIX cars being built.
The engine has been gone through pretty well as regards forged/balanced/ported etc and works pretty as far as I can tell, the new lump will have a aluminum block with a dry sump set-up which will save a few pounds off the front.
Thanks again for the compliments

section 6.2 The minimum weight for an AIX car is 2700 pounds with driver in full race dress.
Including up to 150lbs of ballast
I'll be over minimum with my new car by 100#, so no worries! :coolman:
Making a little more progress
I got chills when I saw this pic, what a rear!!! :coolman:
Very nice work!!!!!!!
Bruce, you building a new AIX car?
Thanks, I got chills myself when I got the bill :burnout:
LOL!!! Do you have anymore pics of the rear diffuser? Your build is awesome and Ive been following it all along. Cant wait to see vids of the car on track. Should be a beast!
I do but the car builder does not want me to post for obvious reasons. If you think the rear is cool you should see what he has done to the front. :banana:
I'll post more pic's as the car nears completion.
I understand completely and look forward to seeing it all done.
Well, if you want a technical answer I would have to say no. This car is most definitely relegeted to AIX if and when I race it in a NASA sanctioned event, but that is not the sole purpose of the car.
The sole purpose of the car is for me to have a boat load of fun and spank a crap load of Z06's like a bunch of redheaded stepchildren. :dancenana:
Sounds good to me, best of luck with the build.
If you're interested in tech on the car, you can find it in the Cobra R section.
