Originally i had planned to build both a nice good gas mileage daily driver, and a full out road course race car. Ive since decided that id rather get my racing fix with motocross again, and just build a car that i can every once in a while hit the drag strip with. The good part is, now my racecar and daily driver budgets are going into one car, and all the aeromods that help at the strip, will help with gas mileage.
