   A truly beautiful design. I’m most interested in the acoustic properties of what is essentially a wooden guitar body that you sit in just inches from a 600 hp engine. The Sydney Opera House has an acoustically tuned amphitheater that is independent from the concrete outer shell. When low notes are played on the built in pipe organ, the entire structure resonates beautifully. Spend a little extra time tuning those exhaust notes Joe.

   I am wondering what kind of wood they used for the chassis. with 600 hp and who know how much torque i just imagine that poor chassis snapping the first time they try to open the throttle a bit. but then again when it come to handling the wood chassis might actually make the car a little more fogiving.. dunno hard to tell.. i guess non of this is the point of the project really..
