I guess when people start rice bashing they also lose their sense of humor.

Lol.... Now if they got rid of the fool driving it they'd get down into 13's.

Maybe one of those 'Top Gear' remote jobs would do it.

There was a special up at Winton once that was similar to that. It looked like a cutdown N13 Pulsar floor and bulkhead with matt-black, flat, thin sheetmetal “panels” to cover the rest of the missing bits. Anything that helps performance I guess.

I remember seeing a TV show with something similair to this. Was it the Car Show on Ch 9 ?

It wasn't Top Gear and it wasn't Myth Busters. Any ideas ?

I read a similar article in an old car magazine, it was an old mazda coupe or something. They gutted the car and got it going faster just like the web page haaa..
