Very nice looking car that, it's like a classic with a modern twist which I like. I'm not a fan of morretes but it all just looks right. Reminds me a little of Neil's classic from back in 2010-11

I assume the max power is 400bhp/500ftlb? I kind of read it as 400-500bhp with switchable maps, then viewed the pic of the TMIC. But then the "T" can make 500bhp right?

Is it still on the 5 speed close ratio box?

Good luck with this, It's a nice example.

Rob
