Watch at @5:10 in the video

Upper management requested that I re-do some of the graphics this round You'll have to look for the text in person next time you see the car.

Awesome video! How much to turn my GT4 into a clone of that car?

I'm pondering this for my Spyder, will consider all the implications on a new car before pulling the trigger. If we are located close by and can drive to Fremont, do you do the entire install of gears and flywheel at your shop? If so, how much is your install price please.

Also, what are your thoughts on the duck tail extension without adding the canards on the front?..

Hi CAlexio I really did the canards to go with the raised wing. I don't think you'd "require" them with the ducktail. For sure this can and apparently will be done to a spyder in the new year here. There's different options so maybe drop us an email to info@sharkwerks.com

Does Sharky agree with Henry Catchpole that GT4 OEM suspension is not of need of a suspension upgrade?

First time I ever did such an upgrade as I've gotten the track bug and can't wait to see if my suspension upgrade will help with the scary understeer 😀

We chatted a lot about it and yes the first thing is a proper alignment. We like Tony @ TC Design to do his magic as far as that's concerned. I think he protects his IP so that folks that get it go faster at the track (ask Mooty) but that aside out of the box it's obviously darn good. I'm captain slow but I can't say ours understeers as it sits and with the LSD has plenty 'o traction too.

As far as getting rid of compliance and testing the limits of the already weak tolerances (in the front) it does make me nervous- very. We've had too many issues. Digging around and testing still but with what's been happening I'm not going to be doing shorter/stiffer springs and having the shock go through the hood
