Oh never mind, you don't like the way it looks!

Well, why make it "look" better? Isn't it evident that the car is literally designed to be functional?

It is all functional, and soon we will be doing a full flat-bottom which will allow the diffuser to work more efficiently as well.

They are. The guys are still working on the site, but a basic one with contact info is up on it. You shouldn't have any problem getting a hold of them.

Hey Evan,
Car looks great. Looking forward to the next time we are both at the track and maybe you can take me for a ride since a lot has changed since last time I was riding shotgun.
