The Purple Thing........What can I say other than this car is just rock solid.  It's not the fastest, not the prettiest, but it's dependable, strong, and fun to drive.  Gets a lot of compliments too, but can't take the credit for how it looks (Thnaks Bobby).  Katie loves the car, I like the car, yeah, it's a part of the family.

Baseline dyno for the purple car done at Xotic Motorsports, as we bought the car.  Not bad, little work to be done..

This is our first time to the track with this car.  Street tires, OLD Mcleod clutch, and horribly undergeared with 3.23's out back and a 95 T56 to row through.  Crossing the traps in third.  There's a LOT more in the car than what this shows.

Dyno tune by Alvin of PCMForLess (tune that the baseline was accomplished on) at Xotic Motorsports.  Picked up a little under the curve, but there just wasn't a lot to be had.  Obviously, the mail order tune was damn near spot on.

This timeslip is from the former owner.  This was as the car was bought, but with an A4 and 3000 stall and drag radials.  However, the 2-3 clutch pack in the tranny was going and it was bouncing off the limiter going into third gear, hence the low trap speed.  Shows it has some potential.
