I typically like the taller spoilers too....I know Scott would disagree though!

You can't go wrong with either rear spoiler, I just think spoilers finish of the car somewhat and on 2nd gen's the taller spoiler looks better IMO.

BTW Nick, how's the Captain doing?
Considering the polished ones are already stacked up in Nick's office I would say there's a good chance you will get your wish.

I like the shorter one better.. the tall one looks so "disco".

But that's just me and it's not like I dislike the tall one. I know Nick is going back and forth on it. (oh, the agony)

Besides, it gets sorta boring where every build we do is done by a shop in SoCal.. this should break it up a bit.
YES YES!!!!

Ryan, the Captain is tucked away. Although it's been cracked opened, I only indulge every other day now.

Please choose the shorter spoiler, the alore of the 70-1/2 along with the subtle look at the back of the car- its perfect. Although I had a front seat at year one when Nick drove the twist machine car off the course- he may need the additional down force of the larger spoiler Great project, looking forward to seeing it- Rich

Great point Rich! I'm going to need all the down force I can get. I didn't mind taking Steve's car for a little 4X4 excursion; but my ride...I think not.

That's another reason I'm keeping the car orange; the cones are the same color. Rupp will have a harder time keeping track on how many I wipe out in a given day.

Hey Garrett,
it took us long enough, but we finally got something going with this thing.
As promised, you'll be one of the first...

Tell Barry and everyone at SRRC "Hey" for me.

Wait 'till you see what we have going with "Rod Knock," the engine it came with...fun stuff.

Nick
