To put a damper on any unwanted speed and to help the car attack the turns a little harder, AP 6-piston calipers clamp down on 340mm rotors up front, while the stock units sit out back. Motul brake fluid runs though the braking system's steel veins while stainless-steel flexible lines do their part to keep the peace between the stationary lines and the ever-moving calipers.
Finally helping to get the power to the ground, not to mention helping the car stop and turn, are 9-inch wide Volk Racing TE37s wrapped in Toyo RA1 rubber, measuring 275/35R-18 at all four corners.
Inside is a pair of Sparco seats and 4-inch harnesses to keep Omar and a passenger stationary under high g-loads. To help keep the driver clued into what is happening with the concoction of parts under the hood, GT PRO installed a set of DEFI 60mm gauges.
To date, Omar has dropped 35 large on the build up and drives the car on the street occasionally. Were sure he has a blast doing it, when it's running that is.
