Default Will I go faster?
New high performance mod just arrived. The car's a turtle so the driver needs a proper shell. I'll put it to use this weekend at Sears Point. I'm sure it's good for at least a second.

As long as you've got a closed cockpit you'll go faster. In an open car that new design would create too much turbulence.

It was done by Don Johnson (airbrushhelmet.com). I wanted someone that showed more of an artistic bent and good airbrushing.

JR: I have a small stuffed turtle hanging from my mirror, does that count?
