Hell yeah!  Thats the idea.  I hope to keep the weight close to 2200 if at all possible and with 400 HP it should be pretty fun.  Thats 5.5 pound per HP and 4:11 gears with 17 in wheels and 33 in tires.

Had to edit the weight to HP. Thx Carl

WOW, that will Rip with that power to weight ratio!!!!! 

I had a "go-cart" when I was younger that had 5hp, and it would go ~30mph....That was a 120lb cart with my 150lb arse......54lb/hp.

Considering you're aiming for a better power-weight ratio than a Ferarri 599 GTB Fiorano, if you can keep those tyres gripping instead of slipping, you'd be capable of 0-60 mph in under 3.6...

Testing in May, COOL! ;D ;D ;D

Come up to LS from May 17-23 for some of your testing during the DTS spring trip. You will have a damn good time and the DTS members will get to meet you in person. 8) 8) 8)

Made some good progress.  hope to make some more this weekend.  I am at work right now doing some testing to prepare for a planned power outage and it has been cutting into my build time.  I will take some pics Sunday night to let you guys see some progress.

Looking great!

Lots of plumbing.  Do you plan to paint it before getting it running?

Is that a brake light switch on both sides of the turning brake?

Planning on testing with it raw.  Trying to have ready by May, but just found out I have 2 conferences one in April and May so that may slow that down a bit. 
I put in 2 brake light switches so when I pull a turning brake that side will light.
