You should put your tow hook in the front and get a sticker made too!!

They've got one in the back in the event the car were to become lodged in a tire wall, the recovery truck would be able to pull it out from the rear.

Race Results.

It ran a 2.09 for the fastest lap! That's incredible for the TL.

Yeah those calipers and rotors are the most recent thing they've upgraded on the car. I think it ran a fast lap last year of 2:14, this year..2:09.


You should see this thing roll, it had me going nuts! The best part of the race was the first 5 laps,..the TL started in pole position and each lap it widened the gap further and further. I loved it.

Yeah it's definitely NA. I'm not sure what they have done internally. If they were to run the CT blower, it would probably bring the lap time down to a 2:06 on that track. The only thing is the motor wouldn't last nearly as long as the way it is now.

i always heard the 3rd gen handles great on the track. i remember someone posted a japanese (?) video/article of the tl v.s is350 and some other car in its class on a track. tl won of course.

any ideas of what mods this has?

Ok, I hate to revive this thread, but instead of making a new one, has the team ever hinted at the statistics of this sucker?

2:15 at that track is fast for this car, and there's got to be more to it than the aero & stripped interior.

I believe that's the '04 cockpit... the button for the emergency hazards is the same as the one for the '04, the '07 button was half the size. Just a point of reference.

Why did the Type S hit 7th?

Also. you guys just wait, I've had some stuff brewing for a few months now and i'm getting close to being done. lets just say it's not even done and i've got jaws hitting the floor.

By the way i opened a new thread with a project i just finished to help my raise some funds to get some paint. Check it out it's called LOOK WHAT I MADE! PM me if you want one.
