Default Completed widebody XP solo Racer (Purists will be offened)

Thought I'd share a little. I'll be posting more on my build thread in the Autocross section of the performance & Comp. forum.

The answer to most questions about my build...Because RACE CAR (category specific)

Excellent......That looks a high quality build & paintwork, with an fair increased Aero (And drag) body, with no rollcage is it less than 2200 LB's ?

I took the new toy for some photos...





















Almost 200 shots of the car on the facebook.

Also, I know about the typo in the title, I can't fix it, and it's driving me crazy!

Appears to have no rollcage or even rollbar. Just a harness bar? If that's the case I'm pretty sure no race class would let this compete.

If those are Hoosiers, I might reconsider putting that much 'stretch' on the sidewall. Stretch is bad enough for street tires; for a stiff-sidewall competition tire more so.

Car looks good though, nice job!

The car is built to compete in Autocross ONLY. No bar needed. The tires are old and undersized, only on the car for photos and such until spring when I buy stickers for competition. The car will run 335's and 345's.

Thank you sir.

I have yet to get it on the scales, all winter for that. I will publish the weight when I do weigh it. For my class and displacement the car must be #2250.
As far as the additional drag goes, the car has more than enough power to overcome it at the speeds which it will compete.

If I had to guesstimate, 2000 lbs.

Yes, I meant the Drag (Downforce) is something you need for Autocross, Ok 2000 Lb's is good with turbo power, what power 350 bhp +
