Congrats!!!
Similar to me, I have no desire to go W2W, but just being out there with those guys would be a Shit load of fun!!!
If that car fills your "Need for Speed" then thats all that matters!!
Good luck, enjoy, and be safe!!!

I wouldn't mess with a rear bar until you get on track. The car may be balanced the way it is. If you get some noticeable understeer you can revisit the bar idea.
I like the car. I wish I had bought one ready to go. I have built mine on a budget, with a car I already had, and I bet I have $6K into it not including the car. I still feel like I got off cheap when guys like Darren spend that much on shocks and springs.
My friend has the full MM catalog on his SN95 as well that is why I asked. He has the MM rear sway bar, and 425# front springs up front. His rear is 250# like yours with custom valved Bilsteins front and rear.
He has a 306 in it now with similar power to yours. We have been trying to get the car to turn a little better on the tighter tracks. I think he needs to go a bit stiffer, but we are still messing around with ride height, swaybar settings and tire pressures.
He has a forged 347 going in the car and a built T5Z with .85 5th gear.
Sounds like your friends setup is very similar to mine - suspension and power plant. That 347 will be a lot faster than the 306 that's for sure!
Yea it's very close. He has the Cobra R Brembos as well. The car handles very well on the faster tracks like Big Willow, but he gets passed on the straights with the 306. Plus I just got my car going and it has a lot more power so he needs to keep up :burnout:
We recently went to Streets of Willow and the car was not as well balanced on a tighter track. We stiffened up the rear bar and it helped, but some more adjustments need to be made.
The weight is similar to your car, with 275 NT01s. It sounds like both cars are close to the "standard" MM setup.
Bad ass. Congrats!
I'm surprised it doesn't have any CorteX gear on it. Car looks solid.
I'm thinking I'll be stuck with gently beating on my current in HPDE or TT (will be uncompetitive) for at least the beginning of '14...although a slim chance exists that I can pick up a sorted 98 CMC.
Can't wait to hear your updates
congrats..have fun
My remark was because it's for sale on the NASA forums
So does anyone know where I can find the replacement steel brake lines for the Brembo "R" calipers.. I need a set for a 99 Cobra.
thanks in advance.
Now back to the regularly scheduled thread.
WOW..... trying to make a buck or two on the resale, huh???
