It's now so fast that the dash has started to give in to the tremendous wind forces...

But don't worry about tickets or blowing up the motor as it has a radar detector and tachometer.

I am guessing that it's an automatic. I never knew why they put Tachs in automatics.

I love the rivets, though he could use some bullet hole decals, and one of those brushed aluminum wings on the back. Maybe even a hood scoop... oh yeah, red bucket seats with 6 point harnesses.

Each one of those vents easily adds 5 HP, didn't you know that? And the duct tape just makes it more streamlined.
Too bad you didn't run into the McDonald's car.
