yeah those are the same guys of the earlier video! that car is sick but i still dont think that car will do well in corners. well as right now it looks like it setup for 1/4mile. i guess you have to pic either autoX or 1/4mile i think its hard to have a car that does great in both! they are two different worlds.

You know I honestly wouldnt be surprised if it handles almost as good as before. Granted, you're adding some extra mass, but surely not a significant amount. No more than if you were adding all the extra weight of a turbo charger, charge pipe, intercooler, etc. And stuff like an intercooler is way up at the front of the car.

The big question I have is how they solved the bump steer issue. Id imagine they had to move the steering rack forward, and if they did they ****ed up the steering geometry. Maybe that's why you dont see it on a road course/auto x track yet. Again, matter of time before someone makes a kit that fixes an issue like that.
