Yeah that will be happening eventually.

I will probably just buy a bike while I am here to get around on and get my speed fix. Still waiting on the G to sell back in GA.

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 !

Very nice, I am glad you are having this done, my car doesn't feel as stable as I would like around 170

XKR FTW!

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

Sweet!

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
