Take off the rear spoiler and it might go a tick faster. Hang on Keith. 0.05
is actually a pretty good improvement for a car that's already reasonably
slick. 0.05 is worth 15 MPH to me or about 80 to 85 extra HP at those
speeds.
Have some new body mods worked out on the Honda this year, so maybe it will
pick up a little, assuming I get a motor to put in it.
