Thanks Sean!! You should come down in Oct. I bet if we mixed MS109 and Bailey's the car would shoot past 200...

Anyone ever done a before and after to see if taping up the gaps makes a difference? Maybe even blocking the central radiator scoop?

Wonder how much drag you get at near 200mph from brake cooling ducts?

Is the downforce from the spoiler worth the cost in added drag?

I bet there's some mild tweaking that'll buy you 4mph on top.
