If you're car is a sleeper, it's the satisfaction of knowing that they're going to be totally bewildered why they aren't pulling away faster and wondering what's wrong with their own car:-)

Is it just me or is the front of these cars slowly turning back into a new edge? :-) Getting more aero for sure.

I can't figure out whether the much higher trap speeds these cars are seeing is from better aero, gearing or just additional high rpm hp. Probably a combination.

It does have a McLeod Twin Disk clutch. But still running the stock 6-speed manual that came in the car. So far it's holding up great.

So what's the word John? I know you're in pretty good with the BBR guys. Stock internals??
That is all on stock internals. They seem to be holding up rather well. Hell, Strictly performance sprayed a 200+ shot in theirs to be the first 9 second 2011. That car is still together.
