Yea, that was a pleasent surprise when I gained the extra clearance between the radiator and the drive system. Really helps when time to run an air intake on an LS engine.

I'm just trying to play devils advocate here. I know I"m guilty of chasing the biggest and best. I just don't want the little guys to think it's necessary. Nice, but not necessary.

Yea, I know

Not necessary, but nice, especially if you are really beating your car for extended periods.

Although, for some the extra room in front of the engine is necessary. lol

That would be nice..... I agree, the dual driver cars bring new variables into the equation. 15-20 minutes vs. 35-40 minutes on a road course is a huuuuuuuge difference. Brakes, misc. coolers....blah blah blah
