Yeah it would make it nice and easy for guys who will race/track their car. However what about those that will use it as a DD? Would a single lug make life any more complicated for the every day/general driver?

but to eaach his own, you have a point about some leather seats looking real shitty after a couple years though

Had heated leather seats in my 350z. Hated them. Sweat and burn in the summer, and freeze your ass off until the seat warms up. Cloth seats don't retain temp thus I enjoy cloth more.

I'd probably be rolling in some Sparco or Bride seats anyway...

How about 500whp...lol. Disagree 300whp will be just about right. And if you want a complete dominant car, then 400whp will destroy a lot of cars.

A question reserved for those with exotic cars I reckon. I can only seeing it being a hassle if you forgot the special socket to take the nut off and you need to get the wheel off after you just got a flat tire.

If you weigh less than ~170 lbs it would, you'd need to carry a breaker bar in your trunk. Those bastards take some serious torque.

No. It's a motorcycle style disc brake. They're called inwheel brakes. Here's an example from a Yamaha.

That sounds like a challenge! I'm 140lbs so that would be a stretch for me if you're talking about a 170lb muscle bound person

That makes more sense.

Again, I have a Yamaha YZF R6 so I know bike brakes, but the Buell has a different style.
