    no dumb questions:

    it will run in NASA/SCCA

    GTS, ST and a few other categories depending upon the power to weight I want to run:devil:

    We will sell a turn key car down the road for those that want less power and less features to fit your budget

    How many ribs on that belt? That's looking a little familiar, gives me a nice warm feeling!

    I always enjoy looking at how everything just purposely flows together and the skill set it took on making the welding just blend in seemlessly. Living a sheltered life I had never heard of much less seen a bladed sway bar so I learned something today.
