That's from the "Downforce from the sheer weight of the bloddy thing" School of thought.

I bet he scares the crap out of low flying birds. Well that and children, elderly etc.

...invested over $75,000 in to this car and it shows
I can't understand how you could spend 75 grand and end with a car that looks like this.

I'm fairly certain you can't use the stock gas cap cover anymore with the W/B fenders due to the new curvature at that point in the body lines.

It's a little overpriced for what it is, and it looks like the builder sort of lost direction or didn't have a specific end result in mind. Ditch the wing, get rid of the cage, and do a little more work on it and it would make an interesting street/DE car. I do think the spring rates are a little off, my first inclination is to think that it will have some massive understeer. So it may need a little more rate added to the rear.

Yeah the cage is bad! I also like the adjustable-back seats with no provision for a sub strap so they went around the front of the seat bottom. I can just see some tool with too much money and not enough sense buying that car and getting themselves hurt if they somehow miraculously make it through tech...
