Welcome back, guys. I had to read (blech!) Autoblog for a week ... it was terribad.

They just keep making things better for the tuners.

I am literally surrounded by high-dollar exotics every day, and have been for years - from Moslers to RENNtech Mercedes to Dinan BMWs to GTRs, Corvettes, Lambos, and Porsches. I would trade any of them in for a clean Sumo. Sumo FTMFW.

It's almost like there's no connection between common sense and the ability to acquire money these days ...

Also: those cars don't catch fire when you look at them funny.

Model O? I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going ...

HA! Nice one.

The ride is softer than stock, which (IMO) is too rough. They did away with run-flats and cut about 11 lbs. per corner in unsprung weight.

Engine is fully built, balanced, and blueprinted. R1K-specific turbos and manifolds. High-flow cats. Switzer SS90 exhaust. Switzer intercoolers and intake plumbing. Injectors. Syvecs standalone ECU.

HA! Exactly.

Alex Zanardi is an inspiration. Great article about a great champion.

Great stuff! Gotta love that I've put my greasy little mitts on 4 of these in my time ... and the AMS Alpha is coming up!

Any hope of getting a special request GranSport blue/white rendering out of these guys?

I'm on Firefox and Chrome, and I can confirm this.

COTD.

The thing about the AMS Alpha, it's not all that street legal what with the straight pipes. The Switzer versions of the GTR have cats.
