any ideas on how fast it is? Like quater mile times or top speed?

Not to nitpick, but your wastegate should be located where all the runners come together. Someone may have told you this already, i didnt read all 5 pages.

And yes, it definately gets the "most ballin'st ---- 'eva" award. I want one; with lots of boost.

What size are your charge pipes? They look tiny as hell in the pics

That looks to be the only flaw with your design. I do Formula SAE where we build a car similar to what you have there but smaller and n/a. Ne wayz, we had numerous issues trying to use rod ends as your doing there, no matter the strength. We must have used 5 grand worth of rod ends. Some of the engineers from GM were looking at our car and they explained that even though in SolidWorks or CATIA it may look like the rod is only in tension and compression, in reality as the whole suspension and even the hub flexes under load, the rod end ends up in pure bending were they are very week. Have you considered spherical bearings or maybe something with only one degree of freedom? Those are M10 or M12?

The nose reminds me of the Enzo. What a great display of ingenuity, the car looks great, and i bet it will drive just as good if not better.

Props to you, hombre.
