Im more interested in your plan for the bike rack. Im a roadie and have planned on using my car for trips to various races around the state. I love the idea of showing up in this snarling beast of a car amongst the other overly environmentally conscious riders in their gas sippers. (For those of you who are environmentally conscious, I offset my large vehicular carbon footprint with cycling to work and an electric lawnmower) I cant fit my bike and gear in the trunk and a trunk mount rack will not work. My only other option is to fit a removable trailer hitch and use a hitch mount rack or utility trailer. I like the utility trailer idea as it also would double for road trip duty to various auto events. The trailer hitch would be removable using as many bolts on the frame as necessary to ensure it is secure.
