the Pilot Cups are as sticky as you are going to find in a street tire before going to a true slick. They stick great on my car.

You presented many wonderful ideas

A few things;

1. Is the rear clamshell now lifted on and off or ?
2. Are you drawing vacuum through the two puke cans if so with a remote pump ? thus keeping a vacumm in the crankcase and if yes are you finding better ring sealing?
3. Did you find that the rear section flexed twwo much thus the reason for the over the top "X" brace?

Thank you again

Now as for color ... this will be the "forever" debate however I have no doubt that your gal is "FAST" and I have every reason to believe that come this summer she will be even faster.

Be safe out there

the new carbon clamshell is lift on
the puke can are not vacuum at this stage
and yes there is flex in the rear chassis I have the x brace that goes iside the cockpit to the main roll cage also has a multi x-brace that goes across were the gearbox mount used to be that also picks up the top suspension mount bolt hole to join both sides together.

cooling is std rads but no air con and no hump in front hood
:cheers

Whoa, that more I see the more I like it...... She has come a LONG way since it hit the pole (this was the black no stripe that hit a pole a LONG time ago, by the previous owner right? Sorry if I am confusing this car with a different one.... )
