1) Pretty car that does 0-60 in _______.

~or~

2) Ugly car that does 0-60 1.27 seconds faster and costs twice as much.

I'll go with door #1, thanks.

Just MHO, of course.

Very well said! Bravo!

I want door panels and a center console. I am all for painting it on the outside but I like it raw on the inside.

these guys were more than happy to make custom pieces for my last car. When I pony up some scratch I will have some more work done. Maybe get my door panels.

How do you guys make your hoods? Cuz with a hood this small, it's really hard to reduce the weight, and simple fiberglas with CF overlay probably isn't going to cut it.

The CF hood I have is nearly 5 pounds lighter than stock.
