Since many have asked I guess it is time to spill the beans. We have a new racecar here too. I have been wanting to run TS for a few years now and the only holdback was the ole heavyweight car. So in May I remedied that issue and pulled the trigger on a new car. It is an RJ Racecars built Dodge Stratus. It was actually Ricks personal car he ran in PS. It is leaps an bounds above the Cuda as far as a racecar goes. Cosmetically we will get that handled in time. We have been working on it pretty much since May changing things to better suit our needs and my size. It will have a Predator motor in it which is currently being machined and screwed together. Hoping to have it out by the end of the season but I have been spending money like mad so no promises there. The ole money tree is about picked clean right now. Anyway since I have had a few PM's and emails thought I would just share it with all. Hope you all like it...

Wheelbase is 105" on driver side 104" on pass side.

The car is 100% Carbon fiber, all with Mopar part numbers of course It has a LOT of aero tricks on it. From the front end overlapping the doors, the full belly pan, the trunk lid sliding under the rear of the body to the aforementioned wheelwells and some other small carbon deflectors at the rear. It is a very trick piece for sure.

Here is a shot of the rear end

Nice purchase Al!
I know you will get your money's worth of use out of it, but right about now you have to be wondering about that.
