[Mark Nunnally]

I just remember opening and shutting the doors, and they "felt" like MY doors (gutted with lexan).

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".
