Went by PowerFab Automotive in Houston today and we went over the plans for the car.....WOW...nice shop....and I saw some of the work that they have done na dis doing....I was asked to keep it to myself...and I can see why...very skilled in welding..
I was given alot of ideas on how to control heat and how to mound the diffusers......I will go over with Terry. I will also change out the exhaust and pipes to a very lightweight system.....you have to see this thing to believe it....wow !

wow you hit the jackpot right there XKR
Keep us up to date since I did say me and you are
heading towards the same goals as far as reducing drag.
The only unsolved puzzle for me is the rear diffuser

I have actually done this event Back in 92 right befroe I joined the army. I took my dad's Thunderbird SC and ran that. I was a blast!! I would post pics but I dont want you guys to make fun of my hair style
..i would love to do this event in the M3 it would be a blast, I just need to know dates cost ect....
The biggest problem I saw back then and I think it may or may not be a problem is fuel (enough fuel to finish). WO for all those miles.. Hell my M3 gives me 12miles WO x 14 gallons = 168ish
