Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

you guys hit it on the nose, not enough ventilation. Like he said its like blowing into a milk carton, the milk comes out from the pressure. I would have paid 5 bucks to see that, i'd pay 20 if you could do it again!!!
