Crazy that you saw a #1 plate in person. Like I mentioned above, that's way more crazy than the car itself. Cool.

This California license plate just hit the market for $24.3 million if anyone is interested.

@WeberWho - in addition to finding and restoring smokers you subscribe to quite a broad spectrum of web sites.
So which is it "Mickey Mouse or Marilyn Monroe?"

506 hp at the wheels, estimate 600 hp crank.
I also did a dyno last year, before I moved to 94 stage 2 ... stock on 91 pump (but with my full bolt on intake and exhaust) made 375 hp at wheels. We figure the larger intake and free flow exhaust added around 30 to 35 hp. So we figure bare stock would be around 340 hp (wheels) for this car. Compare that to the advertised crank hp of 405 ... I'm losing 16% from crank to wheels due to AWD.
So that's how we figure 505 hp at wheels is just over 600 hp crank (add 16% loss back).
Anyhow, the E30 tune increases power by 50% ... this car is a beast now given that power and torque. Looking to make high 10s at the strip on Friday (full weight). I know there's much faster cars ... but that at least puts me in respectable territory.
Nothing like the TT but went from just over 2 to just over 3, swapping to the K04, ECU , and some bolt on's.
With your HP, drivetrain has got to be next....I would imagine
I've been told the 2.0 litre can generate over 5, but at severe cost to drivetrain components, which is one of the factors which stopped me from going down that rabbit holeHave:

dbCooper said:lousubcap said:dbCooper said:lousubcap said:@dbCooper- That is one sweet ride. How often do you roll the tires and drop the top? Bonus for the third pedal.Weather dependent, try to enjoy at least monthly driving, Apr.-Oct. I've taken it from 53k miles to 78k, but miles driven/year has gone down with time. Top down is the preference, I'd say it's down 50% of the time.*sad to see the third pedal largely disappearing.
Edit: Given the vintage I'm guessing it can go quite a distance before you use a battery tender. But no chance for the 6 months.Always believed non-use can be the hardest use of a car, need to exercise the mechanicals. 😁 I do use a battery tender year around, along with a disconnect switch. Only "off" draw is the analog clock (which does not work). Takes but a couple minutes to swap in/out, so I do it. Ancient tender and Optima Battery, both still going strong. 🙂
Well, the ancient Optima gave up the ghost today at 7+ years, 3 yr. warranty so not disappointed in it. New one just installed and am back in business.

They don't make them like they used to. Too old to remember but the label's punched date holes tell me my prehistoric Optima was put into service August 2004 (not 2014, that I remember), finally retired it in winter 2019/2020 after it went flat a few times during Covid curfew. Can probably keep going if I team it with a trickle charger on timer. I now use it to power router during power outage.

The Texas heat took a toll on my batteries, I almost always had some warranty claim when the failed. When I started using these optimas, that problem went away for me.Love you bro!

I've been back to his homestead farm a couple different times now. He did somehow manage to grow up in the middle of nowhere on a farm. I've even seen his Monte Carlo SS sitting in the pole shed under pounds of dust. A sad sight to see but that dust might be a better fit than my buddy."The pig is an amazing animal.
