THey are the only bit i think looks a tad off, but its probably so the car can sqaut on take off

None of the cars running 9s or less in Europe have them like that, hence the question.

Just seen the pics, not as I expected.
As a drag car, I think it looks awesome, but I don't think it'll look right if I seen you driving down the road in it - maybe a shot of it in 'road' mode (when you change the wheels etc) may change my mind.
Well done, I hope it'll do everything your expecting to do with it!

think people are looking at the car the wrong way , it might not look as good (in your opinion )as last year but it has all been done for a purpose last year was the first year out for it and i liked drag racing that much i have now focused the car to that , ther car will not be driven on the road that much at all maybe 50 miles at most as 600bhp in a fwd car is just stupid to drive on the road, its not a easy car to drive , so the best time i had in it was at the track so thats what its been focused on

yer you may not be, but you can seriously think its a good idea to thump someone or even threaten them in the middle of pod. i dont know the history but its daft to even have an atmosphere with him when everyones there just to have a good time and show there cars.
