edit: by "not a tin can" i mean front and back seats, carpet, interior plastic, glass, etc.
Almost none. Seriously, they all have removed every bit of thier car that makes it comfortbale to achieve an onlly marginal quick timeslip. It's sad.
Like I said, you're not hitting 12s in your tank all-motor, and if you do, you're doing it at a cost of drivability. Good luck with it though.
