Too funny! I had the exact same conversation when I bought #56.

With the RSR bumper you need the ducktail, it will actually help top speed too I think. Might try a '75 turbo tail fiberglass clone instead, I think they are even better and low drag.

Oh, that is the funniest thing I've read in a while because like Larry says, many of us have had that same conversation. And what is it with kids. You kind of give them grief but mainly blow it off when they tell on a sibling but it really hits home when they tell on Dad. Now consider this, they usually tell on their sibling because they know they are doing something mom wouldn't like but another car for Daddy? Isn't that normal?

Thanks Mike, but I don't think it's legal to run a '75 turbo tail in G. I'll check into it though.
