How foolish were us drivers, trying to limit drift only to the ground.

This new development could add an entirely new chapter to cosmetics... No one ever paid attention to the underside of the car, yet!

that's funny you mentioned that, I have an interview with ElanMotorsports (http://www.elanmotorsports.com) soon....the FOERST thing that came into my head when I heard about the job was, "damn, I can make a 1 piece carbon fiber belly pan [full length and width] for my car!"

Lol... totally!
I wonder what suspension bushings they were using.

Must have been Tein coilovers too. I think I see a li'l green up under there.

I bet powerlines could hold a car...they are steel cables afterall! Plus, after hurricanes I've seen trees blown down onto powerlines, and the lines don't break-- they are just hanging really low like in that photo!
