All very low and centered weight. And yes, this will be a tricked out CP Camaro with lights that I will occasionally drive on the street. People say I am crazy, but, I have a vision and I am seeing it thru.

Brian,
Have you thought about adding weight inside the rockers themselves? That's a pretty low CG, I would think.
Oh yeah, Awesome build!
