I built a slow car because it is a lot cheaper don't have to keep up with the latest and greatest new thing-a-ma-bob. It is kind of expensive to get one-of parts, but I don't need a lot. I go so slow the real fast cars (160-170) are at a disadvantage. They can not judge how quick they are closing. I'm going about 105.
It's like walking on the shoulder of a highway and having a car going the speed limit. And you have to get to the stripe at the same time.
My only disadvantage is if I redlight it's over.
