It was parked in front of my GTO at the show. It is definetely sinister looking. I could do without the orange, though. I bet it’d be a blast to drive. Kudos to your shop, Kurt. ---

Thanks Todd, The car is a blast to drive. The paddle shift is coming out as I type this. It takes some of the fun out of it. As far as the fit and finish we are still working on that also. At the show it was a thrash to get it to that point. We are about 3 weeks away on car #2 being finished and it kicks ass compared to the first one. There was a lot of crap that went on on car #1 and it amazing that its to the point it is now. I’ll post a few pics on here when we have the body on #2. Driving these things with the body off of them is a blast its the biggest go-cart you could ever imagine!!! ---

The only reason why u need the beta version is because of Hptuners software can only read vin numbers. Ur running the Gm stand alone harness which is basically an engine dyno setup. Very simple to use and tune. > [@gm is a joke....](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gm-is-a-joke/40622/76): > > This is one of the more intriguing cars we have tuned lately. Very impressive work done by RPM/ProRides. I was told that the three exhaust systems on this car (with two sets of electronic cutouts) took over 40 hours to build. When we started on this car it barely ran. The E67 ECU required a beta version of HPTuners to tune and many hours of correspondence with HPT before the car was brought to the dyno. We were pleased with the initial tune on this car and the horsepower numbers were impressive. I believe the car weighs 2600 lbs so run the numbers on your 1/4 mile calculators, it’s scary… > > RPM builds some very serious rides! > > GTM#2 is scheduled for tomorrow. > > [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeb5hzW\_Gz0](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeb5hzW_Gz0) ---
