Trakcar 1.1 is an Aero Beetle with cosmetic thingies: pedals, decals paint, vinyl, painting wheels, painting center console, painting dashboard, a gurney lip, some dive planes, a full make-up, like Pimp my ride.

My helmet is in the head liner unless I take the cushions out. Plus sitting deeper in the seat holds me better.

Nothing to see, just showing of virginity. Porsche Motorsport LSD, slightly different plates or ramps or whatever then before. Rodger spend 30 minutes trying to explain it to glassy eyed me and I have no idea what he is doing, I muttered something like can you give me 10% more of what I had but I'm sure it will work. We can always adjust.

Never going to happen, I love my aerobeetle.
This one even has extra speakers and cupholders for my beer.
All the clown has been removed from the outside and the inside stuff is still for sale, but I can live with it.

Trakcar 1.1 has PCCB, Li-Ion battery and side mufflers deleted, these things alone remove 125 lbs.

Trakcar's cheating never stops.

I know a good diet. We could make you drop 50lb in six weeks... That would be minus half second at Sebring.

Keep going. Volks will shave 25lbs; CF 4.0 fenders another 20.

Actually, the rule of thumb is that each 100 lbs is good for about 1/2 second per mile of track. Probably a little more with lots of elevation, like Barber, Road Atlanta, and the Glen, and a little less at flat tracks like Sebring.

Well, another excuse to keep drinking beer. 1/2 per 100lb? Beer = happiness

Maybe I'll start juicing veggies when I start losing more often in the GT3 DE CUP, but for now we want to make sure there is no unfair advantage.

My posted weight is with the car finished. BBS Toyo, Suspension stuff, steel brakes, heavy battery, all aero stuff, CS roll bar 6 point seat belts, wrapped Traqmate installed.
