MrSlick, we might just do that this year at PRI...that is, bring the Eclipse. We always have many show commitments for other vehicles we do, so GM's support as of late has led to many J-body appearances.
But I am mighty proud of the RS, and now that our mega-move is over, new facility all built, and we are humming along at record production speed...it's time to finish what we started. Inspiration comes in many forms...the fact the RS could be capable of mid to low 10's with just a few more tweaks and toys is very inspirational right now!
I'd like to also point out that NOTHING on the RS is 'secret' or 'unavailable' (yes, even the Stage V fuel system is about to be released). It uses standard parts throughout, and is but a demonstration of what our turbo and fuel system components can do when allowed to stretch their legs to the fullest. Further, we have intentionally resisted the urge to use a ported head or cams, just to see how far the stock pieces can go, as we feel that this best represents the majority of our customers' cars. Even the intake is stock! We built this car to show you folks what is possible with the least amount of investment overall, not to kick all your asses!
In addition to showing how to build the power, the RS also shows us how to make the rest of the car work well, which is invaluable information to share with our customers. Any customer who would like to build a similar car is welcome to use the same blueprint. And if you go quicker than me, with my parts and assistance, what could be cooler than that? Someone had to do it first, is all...I have thrown down the gauntlet in showing what the potential is, and I invite anyone with the determination and resources to follow. Come on in, the ET'S are fine! Bill Hahn Jr. 98 RS Turbo: 10.87 @ 136 MPH HRC Stage V with N20 Nation's Fastest Street FWD 2G DSM www.turbosystem.com
