We can't put the D-bars in due to seating position when I'm driving... especially with the helmet on, so we contacted the Tech guys at the mile and asked about the cross brace from the D-bar mount location to the read bar mount on the other side of the car... and they said that was great, and stronger than just the D-bars... The rear seats are no longer usable, so... this is the fix for the cross strengthening.... We will also but putting some sound deadening material under the seats and other places.Eventually the rear seats will be gone completely, but for now they are cosmetic... and very little weight gain...

Shift????????????? I know not what you speak of. Ted shifts for me from his office! How long does it take to so down a 4500 lb car from 215 mph? Another mile? Do you have to buy another Camaro to use on the weekends like the rest of the maniacs that don't know the words "no more"

I was daily driving the crap out of mine until my aeromotive piece of crap quit with seven hours on it...I am now running a Weldon... for a total of four pumps in my car to move fuel.... As for slowing down the track is about 8800 feet, and 5280 of it is for acceleration... so... Big chute, lots of brakes... and some leather sucking..... Below is a image of the track.... The measure line is close to 5280, my mouse isn't sensitive enough to get it exact...

So,we got a lot of the under body aerodynamic stuff taken care of today...
I have a few pics of the rear diffuser skirting.... This will keep us from catching a lot of air with the diffuser since the trash can rear mufflers were supposed to perform this function.... Justin and I built the forward piece as well, but I don't have any finished pics of it yet as we were waiting for the paint to dry to do the final install...

This cover will tie into the existing turbo cover so from the front skirt to the down pipes, or the area of the collector on your headers, everything will be covered....Combine that with the vented hood and I should have some much improved ability to keep it planted on the track...
