I said this before, I like your mentality and build.

There is something I don't get that blows my mind. You are taking this extreme race car approach to stripping everything out to save weight. Completely destroying the drivability to the point of making the car unfit, unsafe and likely illegal for public highways. Nothing wrong with that if you are building a competition car, but when I read you are not going to track or compete in this car I felt like this entire process makes no sense to me.

The entire point of lightness is to gain the edge over competition, to gain that fraction of a second without having to add power and that mantra is universally accepted in racing. But this is not a race car, am I missing something here?
