Dry sump...forgot about that. Absolutely awesome.

Absolutely amazing machine. I could only dream to get one.

Wow, this is awesome. So cool they are sending you the build photos.

The Ford Performance Racing School will be at our private track day at Thunder Hill on October 1 with their FP350S. Would love to see you come out there with them and do some testing with the GT4

Interesting part will be the fuel fill-ups. Not exactly conducive to the Sunoco pump at your local racetrack? Yes, just jealous I don't have that problem , ha,ha. Congrats.

Fantastic seeing the build process photos. Keep them coming. You must be super excited!

Sticking with the 79.5 Liter (21 gallon) tank? Im interested to see your fuel Consumption with the 5.2 at full tilt.

Dean tells me the manual brakes in the car took some getting use to, Im interested in your opinion them.

I sprang for the 28-gal fuel cell and air jacks - the "endurance package" in their terms. I believe the brakes are the same design as my GT3 car - unboosted and very heavy brake pressure. It's not a big deal, but does take some diligence with a leg press machine to get the most out of them.

He's got a dual dry-break on there, so as long as his jugs are filled up ahead of time, the actual refueling will be very fast, and he won't even have to open the trunk

Moar pics!

Already done. 585 BHP

It can easily be reset down to GT4 specs. But unless I'm running in a series which requires that restriction... ain't nobody got time for that.

Great to hear. Some thought this was not achievable when I said I was targeting up to 525 rwhp without the Cobra Jet intake. With your set up and just over 10% losses I'd be right there. We'll see, but I'm really more interested in tuning for max torque across a wide rpm range....

Can't wait to hear your first impressions from shake down.

You think it's hard for you?? The folks at Multimatic are sending me similar pics bursts; I'm pulling a few out of each batch which are the most comprehensive. I'm dying to see the whole car, but it's not ready yet.

@treynor I know these run a Motec dash; is it a full Motec EMS? If so, will you have performance traction control?

Full Bosch racing electronics package, including engine management, traction control and ABS. Just like a full blown GT3 car [emoji106]

You can tell a quality builder when the “status update pics” have an artful composition and careful consideration to depth of field and focal length! Congrats, it’s looking fantastic!!!

I was appreciating the composition and 'bokeh' myself...my compliments to their photographer. Nice service.

Please keep the pics coming treynor!
