WOW at your weight as well

Whats it going to do with a 17% and a tune

if you use your amex, i will have to resort to my Acme [as used by Wile E. Coyote]
in the meantime some octane boost will sort out my minor power deficit until i decide how to combat your implied cheese grater, toast holder modification

being slightly more realistic has anyone considered the "more aerodynamic" undertray fitted to a GP, would the reduced drag be offset by any reduced cooling? if not how much is it?
PS. this is all speculation as not seen under a GP yet, but had recently read somewhere that the GP is much slippier than std R53 even with the whale tail

Yours already goes like an ACME rocket! You'd only need to fart whilst yours in on the dyno for it to surpass mine!

I am totally with you on the aerodynamic side... the one mod I really want is a flat undertray to suck the car to the ground with a rear diffuser at the back of the bumper as on the challenge car... The back of that car looks so good!
