i just think it shows the lines the best, a good balance of light/dark in lots of different lighting.

i do like silverstone. there is a guy on here with titanium silver (the color of my first bmw- an e46 325ci) and i really like that as well.

Is space grey a version of red? If not, it's not the best color.

Can I ask what you Hp:weight ratio is? I don't have close to those kinds of mods and right off the bat our cars hit TT3 and I will running 285 Conti slicks which I don't think will keep me in that class. I for sure would have thought TT2 at minumum with that kind of aero. Car looks awesome though!

The car's weight is with me and gas, ready to race, 3580lbs .
The average Hp is 355hp, it's not the max hp that counts , it's an average. The NASA rules don't classify by aero mods unless you have only one wing.
The Conti slicks are penalized and will give you additional points/weights which probably will kick you into other class. I use DOT Hoosiers A7.
You will have zero chances in TT2 unless you have a full blown E92 M3 race car.
I believe there's one in TT2 this year with a fast driver.
TT2 is dominated by Corvette C6..

I think the full effect would have been to have a flat bottom lip sandwiched between it and the splitter plus rear wing.

At buttonwillow I don't think it would have mattered much but at ACS there would be some difference for sure.
