Even more body rigidity comes from Autech's innovative use of special pieces beneath the Z-car's unit-body. Special mass from Yamaha are mounted between the left- and right-side frame members to resist flex and vibration.
Special mass? Is it a Latin Mass, a Funeral Mass, a High Mass? Does the priest have to ride in the car during the race so he can say mass?

Basically You will be paying $3,500 for Welded Seams, some Rigitity Parts underneath, a Suede interior and that body kit.

i think the body kit aftermarket would be as much as that.

Sounds about right. Makes it a pretty good deal IMO. All of those welds are pretty labor intensive.

If they could have just boosed the HP to 320 or given it a factory 3.9 FD, it would make it a much easier sell.
