well, after a couple of late/all nighters, we just finished the car. everything good is on it, ready to run. we still need to set up the suspension though, and a few changes with the other parts that need to be modified or set up just right.
on the engine dyno we are at 70 hp NA, with a car wet weight of ~460 lbs, but no body, which will add about 20 lbs with fasteners and what not.
still, that's 20-30 lbs less than our car last year, and we even have ARB's which add like 8-10 lbs.

what does it weigh wet?
all things considered, i'm guessing 480 lbs wet. but at competition, we'll probably drain some fluids, use worn tires, and shave it down to 475 for the design review.
i think we have like 70 hp, 45 lb-ft of torque, and a redline at like 12K. i'm not on engine though, so i'm not too sure.
