Just wanted to second this as well! :)

This is one of those times that I really wish I lived on the west coast instead of the east coast. I'd love to see the ND at your tech day later this month!

Keep the pictures coming if you get a chance to play again today! :wink:

I'm definitely interested to see what parts Goodwin and the rest of the aftermarket come up with. In fact, I'm holding off on an ND purchase until there are parts for a competitive STR build.

Keep the photos coming, Brian.

And stock corner weights with me...I am about a 200 pound driver.

So cross weights are good stock without driver (49%/51%), and better with driver (50.6%/49.4%).

To my eye it needs a bit more rake. Should get much better-looking with some new suspension, and maybe a spoiler.

Looks pretty awesome there. I think we need someone with serious Photoshop skills to 'shop a 671 blower onto the hood and really make it look aggressive! :lol:
