This entire saga proved many things about car building and performance. But the biggest lesson of all of those is that no one ever gets out of such a car what they put into such a car, whether it’s money or time or any other factor. Huge project. Huge fun. Huge monetary loss. So it has to be worth it all to someone, and if it were me I’d keep it forever rather than take the $ hit. (And it wouldn’t be orange or any other Skittles color.) Good luck on the next build, whatever it is.

Can’t overlook the fact that the car was BUILT by the engineer(builder)/driver(owner). IMHO that’s the most impressive aspect of the car. There is a unique duality here. Driver comprehension of the mechanical dynamics and the feedback to engineers is the way it goes in the tuning process, and in this instance it’s one person, and what looks to be a team of support who possesses the right skill. Cars like this aren’t for everybody and rightly so. It’s striking and dramatic, sure. It’s meant to drive; valet histrionics an afterthought. Fortunate buyer will likely know their way around a Snap On box and the sense to know where the edge is; you f*k up and there is no save-your-ass-systems, you’re on your own. Thank you for sharing the journey and inspiring me to commit to a full build.

*3:15** When the car is overheating, you don't add fans, you add cores to the radiator. I've been able to hit 1700hp with a Griffin 3 Core, and a single fan.*
@UltimateUltimaRS Жыл бұрын
The problem was that there is a heat exchanger for the intercooler in front of the radiator, essentially blocking it. All those cores are great but if no air moves over them, then very little, if any heat will be exchanged. Bigger, more powerful fans allowed air to be pulled over both the heat exchanger and radiator, maximizing their efficiency.
