Bruce, to answer your questions Scotty and I do plan on building a rear difuser for the car but whether time permits prior to the Nats I'm not sure. I am not experienced enough to tell you how much diffence it makes but I am sure it does affect how the wind flows under the car thuis affecting performance....

Thanks for the compliments on the JPS thing. I have always liked the JPS look which is why I did my street car that way.. Just to break the mould and do something different. My street car is gloss however Scotty's and my race car is backyard semigloss... The stickers are slightly different colour too as the wheels are more bronzy gold...

As far as speed goes it is very very quick... Again, I am only learning but a turbo lexus with the slick manual/auto shift is very very fast..... I guess respecting the cars capabiities.... It's a WEAPON.

It is certainly a fast car.... It will take me some miles and a guiding hand to actually make me fast in it.. But that's the whole point of the exercise with this car... I also wanted to drive as quick as I could without damaging my existing vehicle and also have the added safety factor of a full cage, intrusion bars and fire bombs etc.... I certainly have a great deal of respect for those guys like Pete Hancock and Ash Bright who really race their cars and still win shows.... They are amazing!
