That's very impressive! What was your starting weight? Can we have a photo of the dash and how much weight does the CF roof give you (assmuing you did that.)

The car began life as my street car so the weight started at around 3450 or so. I still have the AWD hooked up.
Back to the thread I think it's hard to pull a lot of weight out of these cars unless you do some drastic measures. To me even with very stiff springs the car feels about 100-150 lbs. over weight for a race car. Ahhh maybe that's why Porsche, the factory, isn't racing any of these.
