This is a racecar built from scratch, or at least one from a 944 shell.

This is something I have been considering for a while. I was sort of convinced out of it by a raceshop who suggested that the advantages that this sort of system has over our older style suspension is lessened with the use of high quality suspension and strong spring/shock rates. The point being that our suspension will move very little and therefore the geometry won't become so distorted compared to a setup like Duke's.
However, as they've already gone to the time and expense to do this, I'd be very happy if this was part of the build.

Among other stuff it has a flat underside and trick diffusor.
