No you don't! Trust me, your traction problems are just beginning. I'm not
talking about off the line either, its the 2nd and 3rd gear shifts where you
will have traction problems. Don't get me wrong, its a whole lotta fun!

Seriously, get your self some traction aids for the back and lighten up the
front end. You can move the battery to the back, get some aluminum heads,
get a fiberglass hood, fiberglass front bumper, etc....
