No mods = the intelligent choice in this case

Modding that would be like a 50 y/o overweight gym newbie coming in with Tapout or Affliction gear.

Hey 'slice, what should I do with my race car for next season?



I usually run these headlight covers, but I had them off for a night enduro at the last race

Remove the headlights, for a more optimal Moment of Inertia.

Remove the red banner, and replace it with an all-white theme for improved branding presence. Add a big white 'Cuda AAR style stripe along the sides, with your race number carved out of it.

It's a spec series, there's a minimum weight which I BARELY make.

So yeah, I could take out a ton of weight

That's good, because it's ORANGE as hell!

It's going to be my sons car. His school colors are orange and white. Much like Clemson. It was my best friends car. He bought it new, swapped wheels, added the front and rear spoilers and had them painted to match.

I use to have pictures of it when he drove it home in stock form. But the color is a metallic pearl orange.
Well now I see why he changed them. The stockers look too big and heavy.

I need my headlights, they help me see things at night. I'll take your other advice under consideration.

Some nice rides in here.
Also, how cool is it that Slice is playing along so well?
