Thread: A ride in now 1150-1200 HP Twin Engine GTP

I have zero lexan in that car, that is a 150lbs I think total if I go lexan.
Then the dash is another 100lbs. Lightweight hood.
Lightweight wheels.

300 lbs+ easy. but it's $$$$
Then a lot of weight if I go tube chassis hybrid and aluminum floors like the Matt M's 8 second GTP.

Built engine + trans will open up possibilities power wise. The car can make 2000 whp with ease once built on both ends.
Now it's 4400lbs but 1150-1200 HP crank.

You and I have the same thoughts... Ill be doing lexan, got the lightweight stock style hood already, and 10pt cage goes in, dash
needs redone. I'd like to drop 150-200lbs somehow without really ruining the car from appearing stock. 100lbs will be doable easily,
the other 100 will be hard. Lexan glass from optic armour the sales rep said should be ~75lbs in savings give or take some. He only
recommend the door glass if you don't have them go up/down.

My car is so hot inside I need windows that open absolutely unless I really completely seal up the rear compartment and vent it through the little rear side windows.

Oh ya.. I am not doing the door windows myself. I want the car to look as close to stock as possible. I am hoping I can make the dash just a shell basically. Few light weight hangers to keep it up is all.

Maybe you can black out the back corner windows and have a fan setup. One side pulls air in, other one pushes air out.
Cross flow of sorts? Might be a little ghetto.. but some 252+ CFM fans would pull/push some air in there. Be loud, but
I am sure you gave up making it quite.

Havent seen pics on rear setup since you did the fire wall.. Possibly make a cover that goes over that with that thick heat mat stuff? More weight, but maybe bring the temps down. Can't imagine the car being a friendly hot summer day cruiser for super long.
