can u really fit 285 tires under that thing? thats impressive if you can.

separate track/ street tires would help alot. You don't need nearly as much traction on the street, even in the canyons. a 225/45R17 tire on lightweight wheels will reduce weight, rotarional inertia cross section area, and probably rolling resistance.

removable grill block is a good idea. Finishing the belly pan would help too. side skirts as well. Its too bad you don't want to do a kamm back. It would pay off. I think there are ways to make it look good. Vekke on his 2L lupo made a nice kammback, metal, painted.
