How did the tranny handle? You still have the stock 5 speed in place right?

Yep still the stock 5 speed. It really didn’t take a beating though, it was 30 degrees out, I was running Hoosiers (which could not warm up) and the diff is open. So it just spun one wheel the whole time.

Test and tune round 2, this time at VIR. I was super nervous about driving this car at speed. It has so many unknowns, so many back yard engineering solutions I had no idea what to expect. I found an event that only had less than 15 people at theme (5 or so on track at the same time) so I thought it would be the perfect way to test the car out without running anyone else’s day. I had a few buddies come along as well, which you can see in the 11 second long video below. The car did perfectly with the exception of the clutch which you can hear in the video slipping constantly. Even with the slipping clutch is was able to walk away from my buddies 600hp M4.
