What is amazing is the technology, knowledge and skill that is going into SST. I can only imagine what it will sound like, much less what it will run like.

That rumbling you hear is not thunder it is just SST.

Thanks for all the positive comments you guys !!! That is what drives us to push a little harder.

Wish we had an exact date for further pics and videos, but it is one of those "it's done when it gets done" things. Getting the diff is a big thing too.

The funny thing about the rumble is that a TT car (unless under boost) is actually QUIETER than stock since the turbos are taking energy AWAY from the exhaust. We may end up taking the mufflers off if it is too quiet.

...but when you are under high boost, well, let's just say it is not longer stealthy.

Right!

So what you're saying, Bruce...is that when you're driving this thing through town, you'll avoid unnecessary attention from the local authorities....but when you're on the track and the lights turn green......

People in the stands will be straining to find the Jumbo Jet that sounds like its 200ft above them?

dude, you're killing me with anticipation!!!!!!!

speedster · 01-05-2011, 09:32 PM

Just got off the phone with the guys tonight. All underhood systems are done. Just tweaking the line loc and transbrake circuits. Also we are taking the factory 4 gauge center console pack and building custom gauges for it. Will look bone stock but will actually be boost, air/fuel, fuel pressure and egt. Just about ready to pull the motor for a trip to the dyno room. Things will really accelerate once the differential is shipped.

*Mindz* · 01-05-2011, 09:36 PM

Keep us updated Bruce. This build is coming to fruition pretty soon. I'm requesting you post engine dyno videos as soon as possible.

You wouldn't like me when I'm angry...

Brianskeet · 01-05-2011, 09:49 PM

You are getting close now! I hope you melt a camera down taking pictures once it is back in you hands.
