Beautiful sub. Simple and clean. What's the car being built for?

By the looks of the spoiler on there, I'd assume some sort of drifting?

Are you guys using the stock rear-end & transmission? If so, who did the adapter plate? If not, which drivetrain are you going with?

With cams and exhaust these produce 600+ hp correct?

Totally agree, but this is just wild (sleeper). I asked the customer, why he did'nt just buy a new ZO6? He replied.. "I love my RX8". So I left it at that.

This RX8 has 6 piston brakes? That might help alittle. I agree the ZO6 Corvette is freak'n badass! But this is just different.
