roas..

Hey I'm originaly from Olympia!
I get out there every few months.

Yeah that is exactly what I am thinking...the Silver State Classic would be outrageous...We are shooting for 510hp with 550lbs of torque...0-60 in 4secs...top speed right at 180...and is close to 1g cornering as we can get.All for under 100k.If I do something like the Silver State we will maybe be doing more suspension work and aerodynamics...ie adjustable suspension components...carbon fibre undertray...I have another 55 on order that will become my street car...this may get transformed into full race...with the option of going normally aspirated or supercharged depending on what we are doing.

I won't have pics until little later as we get through the first stage.

The nice thing about the 55 is that we really don't have to do too much the engine, although for the desert I would want more ventilation and cooling capacity.

I haven't heard of a 4matic conversion...
I think it would be a huge amount of work to fit it in a CLK.
