I am more than fractionally correct, thank you. It's not complicated. Keeping air out from underneath the car means aero effects that go all the way to the ground, even if they aren't that exotic looking.

The red bull car is not a good example and it does not help your credibility. The large body piece basically sucks air underneath the car. It, like F1 car rule sets, is mostly just trying to look high-tech.

Unlimited cars have been considered by much more established race car engineers.

Rules always dictate the look of F1 cars. If there was no rule book (and covered wheels were allowed), you'd basically have Can Am cars from the 70's. People always assume the shapes in F1 are so technologically advanced when they're really being strenuously optimized around whichever rule set.
Might as well . . . they're both Fiat spokespeople now.
like driving a Dodge Neon felonious?
Allow me to rephrase that.

Cool.
cool cool cool.

It's because he's still a jerk that's too busy being angry at things. Small things, big things, every kind of thing.
Sadly, there was a Plymouth Arrow in my local Salvage yard about a year ago. It was sad and even had a couple of stickers showing that it had been to the Japanese Classic Car Show in Long Beach.
I know they're practical. It's just funny in the face of all of Scion's "hip" and "edgy" advertising.

(Did you ever notice how despite all of the youth marketing, it's old people that flock to Scions? It's even true at the auto show displays.)

It's really hard for a missile to hit something going mach 3.
The car would still do just fine at a track day without the recommended upgrades. A 20 minute session around an average tight-ish track wouldn't kill any of the listed systems. Much of it is just precaution. Sure, I'd prefer they just include the extra cooling systems.

While Ford has made great efforts to refine the GT500 in the last couple of model years, I never really think of it as a road course car. Instead, it's one of the best deals as far as raw horsepower per dollar in a new car. Drag race that thing, leave the trailer at home, and enjoy new car comfort.

Fair points, but you don't need to explain to me warnings from critical gauges (which are on a lot of surprisingly bland cars) or the uselessness of the check engine light.
Something is bad, therefore we should ban it. That's a terrible legal precedent to set or reinforce. What do you do when the powers that be don't agree with you? Something this small isn't worth compromising the legal system for.

Go lobby the automakers instead.

Also, I'm surprised that I haven't seen on mention of SAN's right to repair legislation. It seems no one here actually follows anything.

Skip all of those silly premium options and make it an even 30k.
What kind of bike did you get for 1500 that will pull a 10 second quarter mile? Secondly, have you actually run a quarter mile so that you're not just guessing?
You forgot a zero.
Basic drag racing doesn't require personal instruction, just experimentation. A local test and tune is the correct place to learn. Stupid would have been blowing money on private drag strip time due to insecurity issues.
