Very impressive.

I guess theyre not allowed to mess with the front body work to get better aerodynamics? At those speeds, every little bit will count for alot.

Why is it we always have to have people that want to criticized someones achievement. I think keeping the car looking as stock as possible (with the front and the sunroof) and still been able to race it at that speed speaks for itself, it's a hell of an accomplishment. All this critics are just plain jealous. Sigan poniendo a Puerto Rico en alto.
