Heh, I think it's the regular type of flu DV19.
Anyway, I can honestly say that the SC truly shows how well Alex can build AND drive cars. I actually expected some type of issue considering it was completely new, but nothing broke or malfunctioned (although, I think it could use a slightly bigger battery). I can hardly wait until next season.

Great seeing you/chatting at FD Pro Am Alex ~ car looks great, and sounds like it's making good power and driving nice... and 'grats on Top 16 in the Vette! Next season should be even better.

Hey Alex, my friend has a 87 supra with about 450hp and he wants to know if a twin clutch is good for drifting? or is there another clutch recomended for the 7MGE?

He should be fine with a single disk setup for 450hp. Some twin disks are too agressive for drift, when you clutch kick, sometimes they tend to break trans or diffs or axles. Guess it really depends on what brand and how strong it is.

That was the doubt he had about the twin disc that it would do more bad than good! Is it safer to buy a clutch that holds more than 450?
This is the beast BTW

Does the $300+ also include the track and a car or do I need to provide that?

Why are you competing with the Vette? What's wrong with the SC? Something about that Vette, I dunno what it is, it just angers me.

It's got a V8 in it. You don't seem to be a fan of domestics, either.

Tougekids, $300 doesnt include track or car.
There's nothing really wrong with the SC, its ready and able to compete. The advantage of driving the vette is the Tanaka team. Its one thing going out to track days and being able to take your own car out and having fun with it. If something breaks or you miss a session its no big deal, but when it comes to the competitions, there is just so much that goes into it and having just one small problem can destroy your entire weekend. Being part the Tanaka team just makes it that much easier for everyone involved and allows me to concentrate on driving. With the Lexy, I would have to be the team owner, manager, mechanic, and driver. I've been there as a privateer and its alot of work and expencive.

Can you please ask Mr. Tanaka to make it look better? LOL! J/K.......No really. I'm sure it is a great car but.....It just needs a serious makeover in the looks department. Not trying to offend anyone just my opinion

Nice! Hopefully that hideos wing is coming off It maybe functional but I am sure there are plenty of other wings out there that look alot better and just as functional...Oh yea...Not that it matters to you what I think but those wheels are awful also...You cover those areas and that Vette will make the girls wet
