What are you going to use to stop this, you ask? More brakes than a 747 needs? Check these bad boys out. Yep, those are 6 pistons for each front caliper. There are more pistons here than 2.5 stock 914s. The front rotors measure out to 12 7/8 inches in diameter and 1.25in thick. A pair of Wilwood Pro-Lite 6R will handle the duties up front. These calipers have stainless steel heat shields in each piston and around the brake pads. They came from a road race Winston Cup car. Pads alone are 500$ a set. I have a new set of pads , but I am afraid they may be a little to hard a compound. Can't wait to get to the track and find out. Out back I have a mildly less insane package. Wilwood Superlite IIAs and 12.5x1.25in rotors to scrub the speed.

The original plan was to run a 15 x 10in wheel all the way around but that has been upgraded to a 16 x10 in the front and probably a 16 x 12 in the rear. I have good access to the Goodyear Radial tires common to GT2, TransAM and other cars. Although expensive to buy new, there are many tires out there with no more than warm up miles or a few qualifying laps.
