Default Re: to sell or not to sell... that's the question

Ok I'll give you a hint, Matt is correct it is a project. Weighing in at 2350 lbs, mid engine 438ci v8 w/twin Garrett Gt35R turbos is rated @ 695HP and 890ftlbs torque @ 11psi, the engine is being built to handle 20+psi safely and I'll be able to control the boost remotely.
Looking at the power to weight ratio I should be running in the very low 10's mid 9's and 0-100 under 5 seconds and easily be a 200mph+ car.

Now I would love to have the sl-65 renntech but for the money and after test driving a 2009 sl-65 I decided to go with something that would really give me the performance level I'm wanting for both track www.nolamotor.com and for the strip. That's why I'm trying to decide if I should keep the SRT-6 and have two 2-seaters. The money from the crossfive would probably cover the trans, brakes and wheels.
But I know I would end up missing it!
