Joe is at it again. This time with an easily serviceable prototype twin turbo kit made by Stage 6 and tuned by HP Performance. Start to Finish - (I.E. on the street getting floored; not in some garage or posing in a concours d'elegance) took 5 days.
Time was of the essence, so this version is... simply... not polished or totally straight. That is it. Everything that really matters in racing has been addressed. Airflow, heat management (around the transaxle), exhaust flow, power production, serviceability and reliability... you name it. Up close in person, It looks masterful, purposeful and very "In Your Face." The designers KNOW what they are doing with fabrication and have done plenty of work already with the leading import drag cars in the industry; cars that make between 300-400 whp per liter of displacement. The designers were NOT afraid to allow cameras in during the prototype buildup. Certain minor things will be addressed in time, but mainly it will be "bling'd" up for everyone who requires it. The car has been dyno'd and a sheet has been POSTED.
After all, Joe is a nice guy and all he wants is to go FAST everywhere. Car shows are secondary. His definition of a "street car" entails far more rigorous DRIVING than most are prepared to witness... or attempt on their own. With this in mind, Joe's TT setup was designed for all the right reasons.
This video is merely a teaser. IMV will have a full version up when EVERY bit of footage has been collected.
