You are a bad, bad man. You have a disease, no a sickness that is unexplainable. Will you infect me! That is the sickest, craziest, most unbelievable, most hardcore, wickedest, dangerous automobile that I have ever ever ever seen!! I need to touch it, feel it, taste it, and hear it when it is done. Who ever said "Touring Car"................ it is a "Hold The F#*K On & Get Out Of My Way Holy Sh*t Mobile" It is the most unbelievable car I have ever seen. Well done!!!!

OK gents,
Here is some new, fun stuff. As you will recall, we are are changing the intercooler design. There will now be a large intercooler mounted on the rear deck inside the car. Stock intercoolers will be replaced by two, large oil coolers to help prolong the life of the motor and transmission. Here is how it will work. We are emulating the old GT1 race car design by creating a custom aluminum roof with the roof scoop fully integrated into the roof. See pics for roof scoop design. The opposite (under roof) piece will grow towards the rear of the roof as the roof scoop transfers from the roof top to the interior. It will then go under the rear cage hoop, follow the glass line to an aluminum shroud that will be bolted to the intercooler. The intercooler will then move air thru the rear deck into the engine compartment and out the three holes in my decklid. The scoop will be hidden under the headliner until it gets beyond the rear cage hoop where it will exit the headliner and become visible below the rear glass. All exposed aluminum inside the car will be brushed and clear coated. A custom, insulated rear deck cover will be built at the shroud/intercooler connection to hide the intercooler and associated plumbing so that the only visible aluminum is the shroud and roof scoop duct. Should reduce the noise issues, insulate heat issues, and otherwise look VERY cool. Let me know your thoughts. From a performance point of view: the charge temperatures of the boost air should be greatly reduced with the enlarged intercooler, and the air rushing thru the engine compartment will certainly assist with heat relief in that area as well.
