Default Course Workers Beware!

This fall, spinning through a worker's station near you, the poopra (aka Japanese Camaro) will return!
I just wanted to let ya'll know that yesterday I finally ordered an engine (stock 7mgte) for the poopra. I also ordered a lightweight flywheel and clutch.

Here are the specs for the car:

HK$ metal headgasket
ARP Head bolts
lexus afm
550cc Injectors
255 lph fuel pump
AFPR
SAFC2
ct26 60 trim
Profec B
Greddy/Trust dual core intercooler
IC Hardpipes
Spec lightweight flywheel
Spec stage 3 clutch 6 puck (can hold 520 ft/lbs torque)
bilstein struts
suspension techniques anti sway bars
RSR race springs
Shroth seat harness

It will probably still handle like a pig, but with some tuning the engine should put down ~400 rwhp with this setup. That should make it fun steer with the thottle!

I think it will take extensive testing to answer that.
