I will be racing the car on a competitive level since a track is being made 30 mins from my house. It'll be done this spring.

The car will be a little heavier than the typical beetle thanks to the 6 speed G-50, suby motor, large intercooler, PWR's aluminum Viper Radiator, Cro-moly cage, and these brakes.

On the contrary, I'm lightening everything I can. No interior besides the Carbon fiber Sparco Pro 2000 seats. Carbon fenders, hood, and decklid. Lexan windows. Also I will be taking a hole saw to all double paneled interior metal.

All together I'm expecting a 2000 lbs. car with me in it (160 lbs.).

My neighbor worked for NASA for 25 years and I spoke to him about aerodynamics of the car and we're gonna try a couple hood designs (Look at the Ultima), and If they don't work, i'll get another hood.

So in conclusion I'm hoping for a 160 mph track car with the 6 speed and 540 hp. Getting it to that speed won't be a problem, just keeping it on the ground with some stability is my worry.

As soon as Porsche makes the PCCB's (ceramic rotors) for the cayenne, They'll be on my car. $800 per rotor is a little steep for me though.
