    Default Not Neutered

    First drive of 2012. What was going to be some slight mods and upgrades in Dec turned into practically a full disassembly and a list of mods and upgrades too lengthy to post. It is nearly perfect now though and was worth the wait. Too bad pictures don't include sound. A Roush 427R with a bunch of cam overlap, sounds vicious through through straight 180 degree headers into megaphones. Last up and still to come is a very retro looking diffuser for the rear.

    Larry, it is Spectrum Powderworks. Mark the owner shares an attention to detail like no one I've ever met. This is coming from someone who finds fault with everything They do custom paint, powdercoat, and fabrication. His claim to fame was built in the bicycle industry where he was a world champion trials rider and went on to work with many factories and racers doing custom bicycle frame fab and paint. He's a car nut with and owns a couple nice Lotus' including one like this Eleven. I'll post pics when it's done.

    40 looks fantastic. How do the Vintage style tires feel on the road at speed?

    Thanks! I've never had it over 160 but it was just as rock solid as the GT was at 180. The Avons are radials. Not cheap but far superior to what some install on these cars. NASCAR still runs on 15" and not the modern rubberbands...

    Those are sweet hydraulic lines.

    Seriously all business there.

    Hopefully will have some video next weekend. The sound is over the top. I've heard your car Ed, it sounds nasty too. A/C works well but I never use it. When I climb out of this car i want to be hot, sweaty, deaf, and shaking. It's a different experience in every way than the GT except the people falling over themselves to get a look and snap pictures.
