Default My new Daily Driver

So I really want my daily driver to be as quick as possible, so I lightened it a bit. I only took out the things I couldn't live without.

Actually I just wanted to post pictures of the car. it will probably never look this clean again.

What's with the nose, some sort of contest to see how much drag you can produce?

thats the thing...i would be you would get more negative effects from increased drag than any cooling benefits.

Actually, I saw about 15F cooler on both oil and water. Not pretty, but functional.

I'm sure it gets air in there, but have you measured the cost? And if you want air, a well-designed inlet will get you more air for less drag than just a bunch of holes.

I'm digging the car, just that front end kills me. Function over form I guess.
