Hey Spice, sounds like a great car. Nice to have another engineer on the forum. What kind of engineering did you practice?
 
sorry for such a long span in my reply.
I was a design / suspension's for the most part. But have done most everything related to racing and race set up's and fabrication
 
here's the mover for sure

Know this 002 Spice pretty well.
Applebee's was a big sponcer for awhile. Miller complimented them with this Spice.
It (002) really didn't do all that well, and I'd say after seeing the 002 at Daytona last year, she's pretty beat in the body for that kinda money. Believe me I tell you all who already know, Carbon fiber bonnets and dec's are not cheap, especailly for s GTP car no matter what the make.
