Hell, you could paint that monster purple polka-dotted and it would still soundly kick ***. I loved the idea of the Fer. red, but now that I have seen it in grey/charcoal, I am really leaning towards that as a favorite. Well, then again, a polar white version would rock as well... aw crap, even flat black would rock.

Don't you think those rear tires are a little *too* big? I can imagine that the rear end will track all over the place with that much surface area and so little force over it.

The white does look good, but I'm afraid it's too conservative for such a beast. I would really like to see Silver.
2ndgenrocket, I'll be running 450lb springs in the rear with GCAD Dampers, should work very well. also my car is not as light as many(yet). There are several guys running similar sized tires already, I am not the first, although I don't know of any high HP widebodies(some are being built, but no completed ones). I think most guys run out of money, or are so pleased with the handling, they no longer desire the extra power, and the headaches that can come with it.
The car should be in primer in the next 10-15 days. We will probably primer it white(NASA does not allow primered cars on the track, so it will be our stealth primer job), so that will likely be the first color we see on the car. Carl
