By the way, your car looks as clean as the area around Shiv's dyno.

Don't forget the trunk mounted Battery, huge McIntosh amp and custum sub-enclosure (gotta' have quality tunes while drifting too and from the bike trails

)

On some cars a hitch will have a signifigant impact on chassis stiffness. I put a very light class 1 hitch on a 97 Neon ACR I was club racing at the time, and even with the 6 point cage in the car the hitch made a very noticeable improvement in the chassis stiffness.

Paul,

Good luck this season, I wish I had your job.
