Several of us were mumbling about that aluminum subframe for days after that
convention!

Yeah I still can't believe we let the one at the Madison convention get away
with the doors intact ;)
That stupid thing was 2550 lb (according to one of the students there) and
it was full of eletrical/battery packs (wicked heavy stuff) in the trunk!
Boy those would be a chassis to die for, for the NASA Touring car series.
Cage that thing with a cam'd 3.2L. Even to meet the ~2900 lb or so weight
spec, just add in ballast down on the belly and towards the rear. Get the
F/R weight split pretty good and the center of gravity WAY down with the
belly pan ballast, would probably be 12" lower than a typical track SHO.
Would be one athletic "Pig".
