This is my 4th attempt at posting this. It seems to time out...

Not Buick GN powered; however I thought you guys would like to check it out. Fast street car built for road racing. Built dry sump LS7 (all alum 427ci dry sump), built Camaro T56 6speed, '03 Cobra IRS pumpkin with custom axles, Penske double adj coilovers, Racing Brake Big Brakes, 18x10.5 fronts with 285/30/18's and 18x12.5" rears on 335/30.18's. Tons of other goodies. Page 1 tells of the buildup!

The skinnies are on it just to make it easier to roll around without the motor in it. I'm super happy with the paint... now the challenge not to scratch it upon assembly.

Projected performance:
2900lbs with full tank of fuel, 550-575rwhp n/a on 91 octane (7400rpm redline)
0-60mph in under 3 seconds (1st gear)
0-140mph in 10.5 seconds (1/4 mile)
LS7 dry sump/widebodyFD Project: 6/5/08 - Page 6 - V8 RX-7 Forum

Trying to complete it by 9/25/08! Driveable at least.
