Sometimes you have to overlook form and go with function. I gained 7 seconds per lap with my mods as well, just ignore all the linear thinking haters... some poeple just don't understand front wheel drive

Hmmmm... I'm thinking that a coffee can on the front might help things now too. I'm totally designing a coffee can intake. Coffee in - coffee out...

Its far enough in front of him that the bars won't take up too much of his field of view. And its not for street use anyway, so all he really needs to see is the visual cues for when to hit his marks on the track.

Yay for hood spears as well; the vision is not too badly interfered with; I think I have a cockpit photo somewhere on my HD..

I don't care if it's this fast. This car is ugly, and I'd be embarassed to be seen behind that wheel, even if I just won a trophy.
