dark colors can get away with the plugs, but yea welding up the holes and reshooting the decklid still looks way better.

I think the plugs look fine. I like it wingless, but now I gotta do some performance upgrades. I went to Bristol today, and could only manage a 14.1 at 100 mph. It can go well into the 13s, but not without traction.

it's got 13s in it just with more seat time. These cars are VERY hard to launch properly. I can guarantee you're not getting everything out of it yet.

I know one thing for sure. These cars don't roll out like an F-body! I am used to seeing that last yellow light and lettin her go. Not in this thing. I red-lighted twice yesterday doing that. This thing transfers weight so fast that it was jumping out too quick for what I am used to. Gotta remember to count to 1 before lettin loose. Of course, if I correct that time for elevation, I would have been runnin about a 13.7 or so.
