One improvement might be light weight half shafts instead of Spicer units and ceramic rotors. One pound reduction in rotating weight = a lot of total car reduction (as you'll surely know). Robert

Bert,
Weight reduction was taken to the extreme.
Like literally F1 inspired extreme.

I can see Joe is sneaking in posts as I run back to check on the new hubs coming off the mill.

Bert,
We don't comment on projects that are currently in the Skunkworks.
Today's project is billet.

Naturally my friend. Don't worry, if I can protect Santa Claus' story in my house, I can protect anything.
Judging by the time of your posts tonight vs. last night, you guys wrapped up early today.
Congrats.
