| My Goal |
| I don't really have a goal for finishing the car since my original goal was for Feb. 20, 2003, and that's obviously not going to happen since pretty much the whole car still has to be done. I REALLY want it to be done by the end of summer 2003. If it's not done by then, I don't know what I'll do with it. Anyways, here's the full list of what the car's going to be like when it's finished. Engine: 351W bored .30" over Twin Garret T3 turbo's (63/60 A/R) JY intercooler (3 DSM cores welded together, with custom endtanks) Trick Flow 5.8l EFI Upper/Lower Intakes Stock rebuilt heads, home ported and O-ringed New stock-spec camshaft TRW Forged pistons (9:1 CR) 1 5/8" BBK 5.0 shortie headers (flipped up-side down for turbo's) Turbo plumbing-all stainless steel: 2 1/2" from flipped JBA shorty headers to turbo's 2 1/2" to intercooler 2 1/2" from intercooler to intake 2 1/2" from turbo's to exhaust pipe going into mufflers (most likely Dynomax SuperTurbos) 2 1/2" from muffler to dual chrome tips exiting in front of each rear wheel wells I don't really have a goal for HP/TQ, but 475hp/475tq wouldn't be hard to pump out at all, running 10-12psi in street trim. (enough power to run mid to high 10's in the quarter with good traction) Transmission will be a beefed up C4, not sure about the specs on it yet. Then, I'll have either 3.27 or 3.55 gears. Exterior: I thought I had narrowed it down to a couple colors a while ago, but I've changed my mind 100 times since then. Right now, I'm thinking a dark metallic red (I'd do a true candy apple red if I had the money) or dark metallic blue, with semi-gloss black paint for the engine compartment. I'm definitely going to put a side stripe down the side like it had originally, but it probably won't be a stock color, probably silver. Interior: The interior will be mildy modified. I've GOT to do something about the fake wood grain, maybe brushed aluminum or something else...for the seats, I'll probably change to seats from a late model car since it will be my daily driver and I'd like something that doesn't feel like a stone. (I'll probably keep the original seats just in case I decide to put them back in for originality.) Something I've been thinking about in my head is painting the metal parts of the dash the same as the body color. |
