Dell-

Is there any snow on the ground in NC? You're sliding down that slippery slope again...

What ever you do please keep in mind that non of the products will have adequate side door impact protection and that for me is very important. I'm seriously considering removing my bolt in cage (from OGRacing) and getting a welded in cage fabricated.

Merry Christmas!

Isnt this right about the time that somebody makes the very logical argument about why a cup car makes more sense than stripping and modifying a street GT3? More cup cars!!!

Dell: Sell the cab and buy a cup. You have a cool wife who loves to drive so she gets to use the 3 most of the time and you can borrow it from her to go to the post office.

You're going to get there one day, may as well start planning now.

Yeah I agree. Get a cup car, sell the cab and keep the GT3. You will never regret that decision!
