Don't get me wrong, the car is still very impressive and I'm doing what I can building my own car to follow their example, but I'd really like to see what it could do on less exotic tires.

Based on the video, I believe they are using A048 tires. The impressive part is how difficult it is to break the 1 minute barrier at Tsukuba. You see a lot of big boys play at the Time Attack, but few break the barrier with that little power. This is seriously an amazing feat!
It also encourages us to push forward with all the projects we have for the future.

That snorkel is definitely nice to have, but, I'm very sure there was extensive modification performed to make everything fit properly. That snorkel is money when it comes to getting ram air. It effectively maintains or "improves" power at speed.
