I'm well aware he's an excellent driver, but I also know he likes to be different and experiment, often to his own detriment. Either way, I do expect to be battling him next year as well. But Chris is a wild card, and you're a known commodity :p
I don't think I gave you too much credit. You've done your experimenting and testing, and now know what works on your car, and there's nothing there that's too crazy or unreliable to give you troubles. You've kept it simple but effective, done your preventative maintenance, and it has come together to be greater than the sum of the parts. Your car is just "in the zone". And with another 100 pounds removed it's going to be even better. And yes, don't those low boost turbo kits look nice? I've been hankering for more power myself....
Keep in mind the car is already raked pretty heavily towards the rear. After we put the stock springs back on, we never came close to scraping the skid plate (which is now basically dead weight), so I'm thinking we have some clearance to spare, and lowering the center of gravity is never a bad thing. Not to mention the car just looks stupid right now with the nose in the air. So just adding the spacer to the front make you 2 seconds quicker, or doing the H&Rs/Bilsteins PLUS the spacer made you 2 seconds quicker?
