I hope I didn't scare everyone away. If anyone watched the race at Talladega last Sunday, Dale Earnhardt Jr. got fined after winning the race. His car was 1/8" shorter than the NASCAR legal height. How much more faster could his car go with it being a 1/8 of an inch short? Can this "lower-height" help a street/strip Mustang 5.0?
