Combining "Show Car" and "Pro Touring / G Machine" build methodology with an emphasis on overall performance.

Goals:
1) Perform a magazine quality buildup that could be duplicated for $15,000. including initial cost of the car.

2) Produce over 650 hp on the engine dyno and over 500 rwhp

3) Obtain the acceleration goal of 10.99 et in the ¼ mile.

4) Achieve outstanding handling characteristics.

5) Improved braking performance and fade resistance for track day use.

6) Run on 92 octane pump gas.
