Haha Brew's car is like the opposite of Ben's in certain respects (weighs more but has mad power...vs. weighs less with "enough" power). I bet those wheels of yours add to the base curbweight too, Brew.

One of the runs there was 1st through 6th gear, aprox 0 to 130 MPH. This is on a closed course so don't go doing this stuff on public roads!

ben, are you running a catted downpipe on that?
