Went for a ride in Xico's turbo........whoa!!!!!!!!!!
So, I went for a ride in Xico's turbo today and I can honestly say I have NEVER felt such power, balance, and stability. His car is so ridiculously fast it made my stomach drop in every gear. We went down a straight where he accelerated from 25 to 105 in what honestly felt like 1 second. I have never ever been in such a monster!! I have driven stage 4GT modified cars and this car was substantially faster. It wasn't close. The sheer power was uttely obsurd!!
What also impressed me was the unreal handling. Xico took a very fast 90 degree turn where the car exibited ZERO body lean or sway of ANY kind. It tracked perfect. Felt like a go cart and made me wonder why Porsche doesn't make cars like this from the factory. Simply Awesome. BTW, I am brokering deals for rides in that beast. Women of coarse ride free

Todd,
Xico also said something about his gearing being completely different. Did you guys do that for him as well.

Orli930 sent me this little note awhile back. I was honored.
"Chad,
Your too funny, I am going to let in a little secret. For the "Florida crew" your are the "Holy Grail" when it comes to mod's.......we all aspire to reach your level of performance. We always are refering to your car when it comes to raising the bar."
As for Xico's car ........... I'm sure it is outstanding. My current motor, which won't be ready until sometime around the first of April will have approximately 1200 rwhp. With gearing it will attain approx. 82 mph in first. The old motor that bent all six rods had a little less than 800 rwhp. As for the suspension, don't know where to start. It has a GT3 RS running gear with exception of the front hubs which were specifically manufactured for TRG. It has posi rear end. Custom axles and cv joints. JRZ four way adjustables. Spread tract front and rear. 10" Fiske's up front and 13" Fiske's in rear on 275's and 335's Hoosiers. All rubber bushings have been replaced with solid monoballs. The tranny and motor mounts have also been custom made as we have bent them all. The PSM has been modified so as to prevent the throttle body from shutting down. That's about is as to a short course.
