Keith,

The car looks great.. very well done.

But don't you think you are slowing it down.
Instead of adding spoilers why didnt you look to remove weight (not being a wise guy, just curious as it seems that you like to race)
Also, isnt 11 pounds of unsprung rotational weight a lot of weight to add. I believe it is equivalent to removing about 77rwhp from your car.
Lastly, why diid you go with 20s instead of 18s. I am pretty certain that the larger diameter wheel will also slow you down.
Just my opinion, but the car does look great.

You might want to consider buying another set of wheels for when you race.

Absolutely perfect. Stance and looks are spot on. Hopefully the extra weight won't have too much of a negative effect.

An amazing looking car (show) with the "Go" to match and exceed, very well done. I have been following your project cars for a while and was especially impressed with your M6. Congrats on another excellent car,

Amazing looking car, congratulations! I am however surprised that the HRE's are so heavy... don't they have a much lighter version that is only like 20lbs for 19's?

Adding 11 puonds of rotational mass in total will never ever equal removing 77rwhp. Sorry but that is just wrong.

Otherwise, beautiful car!!

I thought the conversion was 7x. Maybe it is 5x, but I certainly think that removing rotational weight is one of the best areas to remove weight in a car. Adding it is similiar to removing HP IMHO.
