but she's so sexy! And after having it for 34 years my wife would kill me. However I could picture myself throwing this combo in a little Daytona "590 crapbox Daytona" doesn't have the same ring to it and you would have to call it that to differentiate from the REAL Daytonas.

That metal is also unsprung weight (same as wheel and rotor), extra benefit to lightness, helps tire grip.
