Why the funny shape of the front fenders? (upper aft corner of the wheel wells)

Do you just mean b/c there's no 951 "diffuser"?

Upper aft corner of the front fenders is most likely to release "lift" pressure from high speeds increasing front end stability.

Dan: What I would like to know is how quick the car is. Were there any comparisons made at the track or impressions of how fast the car was?

Anyone else notice the 911-ish gauge display?

Everything else was nice...I like the rear shot that shows the lines of the rear flares over the tires...

I like many aspects of this car but not crazy about the massive 'Orca roof scoop' How's your's progressing Gabe? I haven't seen it for a while. Mine is just starting to be FUN!!
