whats a PJ? and what are you shimming
your confusing every body lol

PJ= Pilot Jet, boring them out for more fuel. specificly low-mid range fuel.
shimming the carb needles will raise them from the fuel well and allow for more fuel flow.
the ZR12 are tuned WAY lean from the factory and the cans on the back restrict a lot. I topped it out at 145mph already. its puills like crazy from 0-80 but after that its starts to run out of breath.

i didnt know those raptors were carburated
how is the handling on that i would think something with 3 wheels would be a but scary around corners or high speed.

def dont feel like spending $15,000 every 10,000 miles for services. the lambo, F355 nsx, viper dont even get CLOSE to the attention this thing gets. plus is way more fun to drive. the viper rides like crap, nsx is SLOOOW, 355 and lambo are insane for the money and they need way to much service.
it handles like it has 4 tires. insanely fun to rip around.

I can push this thing just as hard. maybe a little bit harder then my z06 around corners.
only the final year of the trex (2007) is fuel injectected. and they are only 10more hp. and $57,000 id pass. im very very happy with what I got.

after we get done playing with it. it should hit about 160. give or take a few but its way more fun driving it slow and watch peoples reactions lol but even at 70mph. the sensation of speed is awsome

Saw this beast at Cecil County on Friday and all I can say is WOW! Its an incredible machine - and its TINY in person. Even smaller when Kevin is standing next to it!!! :-p
Cant wait to go for a ride man.....you know where my office is!
Oh and for what you paid (my lips are sealed) this thing BLOWS AWAY any other choice in vehicles from a sensation of speed/attention getting point of view. I think its money well spent.
Drive Safe is all i say! :mrgreen: :) :cool:
