Thats it. His car is nuts. Faster than his 355 '92 RS.
But what kind or engine work is required to do 13s lol

AFAIK: Absolutely none. I don't even think he's touched the pulleys. It's light, lightweight wheels, good tires, suspension.. that thing doesn't slouch when putting power to the ground.

I didn't believe it either until I went two abreast with him on a hill climb and he was out cornering me. The only thing that kept me in pace was just using torque to my advantage. He was screaming, but barely putting much effort in it.

This car was set up for road courses rather than drag strips and it really shows.

Yeah. I got really lucky. Was gonna get an '02 sixer but held out a month and found the T/A. Rest is history. His setup was specially built for the car.. not cheap.
