I would have thought you would have gone with wider tires than that with having so much available power. what made you set the car up this way?

Cool deal snipaz2420, see you there!
Yes Tony drives Rod Millens old car. They are the only 2 RX-8's in the US that compete professionally. Should be cool to see them tandem with each other.

Insanely Yellow
I like everything but that JC Whitney wing - I can't imagine that wing does anything for you - it's too high up to help with airflow separation from the rear bodywork, and doesn't appear to be substantial enough to help with downforce on the rear of the car (which would be better served by a deck-lid lip spoiler to help cleanly break the airflow off the back of the car, rather than some garish piece of **** on stilts).
With everything else in the car so purposeful, why the hell that stupid wing? That belongs on a sticker-mod Civic not on this work of art.
