Ah, ok skip it then. When I did level 2 the third day "option" was them just having you show up a day early and run the last (third) day with Level 1 as a sort of early practice. Not really worth the money.

450Hp and 450Tq is enough.

Just add wheels, tires, big brake kit, harness bar and seat belts..

Check with them for specials. Discounts as they head into summer. I got a 15% discount by signing up for level 2 course and placing a 750 deposit before dec30, 2013. I could the move my dates around depending on my schedule. Doing mid may before gets too hot.

I think it could start at $7xk all the way up to $9xk
Anything higher and they will be the owning $20k discounts at the car just like the vipers.

The worst angle:

the ride height is still too high.
get rid of that wing and put in a cup style wing, that way the driver can see UNDER the wing.

They drop real easy when you corner balance them from what I understand.
Maybe paint everything one dark color would make it look OK.

the rocker panels are badass, kinda reminds me of the Stealth jets.
the wheels are too busy, but easy to remedy
