Many of you have already seen the silver widebody TD06 convertible that we've been working on for a while. We've done lots of cool stuff with it lately including moving almost everything out of the engine bay and no belt driven accessories except an alternator. It was in hiding all spring getting lots of new work done. I've been driving it for a few weeks now and took it to the Tail of the Dragon Z event where it felt unbeatable in the curves. I understand the body is a little extreme for many tastes here and that's OK with me because I appreciate and own stock Z's also. With this car I wanted to build the ultimate Z for me with the looks and performance of an exotic. I will never sell it. I love it. Below is a list of mods I finally put together, some pics I took last weekend, and a dyno chart from yesterday.

Here is a dyno chart from yesterday using a 60 wet shot of NOS. I am not bragging about the power or trying to prove anything with it yet. The car still has some unresolved wastegate issues at higher boost levels that we plan on fixing soon. We just work on it in spare time, which means not very often. Rest assured, it will be making larger numbers. I will also post the A/F for it tomorrow, as I just failed to print it out on the same sheet when I was at our dyno shop today.
