Arrow A couple idea's......

David,
There are couple things that are high dollar items that are not really used for their intented use anymore,even though they are correct.
1- The knock off wheels and hubs are for quick tire changes at the race track, virtually nobody needs them anymore for the street. Maybe save $3,000 over a replica bolt on set of wheels?
2- A Ford 8.8 or 9" axle would be another cost effective option for most people as they would never drive the cars hard enough to get a benefit out of IRS rear suspension on a road course and a solid rear is actually better for high HP street cars.
3- The leather seats could be replaced with the new generation of man made leather,my couch is very comfortable and easy to clean.

I hope you aren't offended by these cost cutting idea's, most people are blinded by your stunning aluminum body to see the other mechanical details.

Regards,
Perry.
