RedPoint, I had not seen that before, that is crazy! He jettisoned 793.2 pounds!

I linked this before, Colin Furze was put in a contest against someone calling himself The Modfather and I mostly watched because from the beginning they showed that Furze was going to remove the roof, pillars, glass, and body. He just wrapped it in shrink wrap, so he had a tiny frontal area, but horrible aerodynamics!

Also, I believe that the car was RWD without much weight in the back.



I doubt that any of us approve of only purchasing three gallons of gas at once, although that would last many on here a week or more. Actually, I have many weeks like that, but I have not started working at that place fifteen miles away yet.

I wonder how much louder his car is now. Having studied Speech and Hearing Sciences, I regularly pull out my sound meter app and my car was noticeably louder last night when I folded down my seats.
