      Thanks for the comments guys!

      Neongreen - Sound deadening is all over the car. Its pretty much on every panel and the panels that don't have it yet will get it later. I know its still going to be loud inside due to the engine hatch. It is half carbon fiber and half lexan. Neither of those materials help with heat and sound.

      As for the engine, I was originally going to go with a turbo. But due to the whole lag thing, I went with the supercharger. This is going to be a true track car and I am sure the lag would have caused all sorts of traction issues coming out of a turn. I wont make as much power with the supercharger but the smooth output will make up for it. Either way, I should end up around a 5 lbs per HP which will make for a fun ride.

      Are you just using dynamat type stuff? If so, that will definitely help with the resonance of flat panels, which you have a lot of. If you haven't already, you should look into using some Mass Loaded Vinyl. It will actually block the noise, where dynamat will only dampen vibrations.

      read the "function tab" for more info.
