I'm guessing you're saying that with tongue in cheek, but I'll address it anyway.
I have a few more things I'd like to do to the car. It's a toy, and I like getting what I can out of it. It'll probably go low 11's with what I want to do. I've always understood that there has to be a line (et) somewhere where a roll bar is required, and I'll eventually do the roll bar. But now, because a car is quick from the factory, it's safer than mine?
