I don't think the production car would have a roll cage and all of the instrumentation. Maybe some weight savings. Suspension seemed pretty good.

Suspension is very good, but keep in mind a full rollcage is going to increase the cars chassis & suspension 10 fold. It serves a dual purpose between safety and making the chassis rock solid.

That's all I'm sayin'

Rolling starts, yes.

Still looks really cool, especially for a car that with a driver weighs around 4000lbs.
