why do you have a v6 rear bumper?

You are right...it does have one. Cannot remember why...not even sure exhaust comes out the back. Will find out. The car lives at the builders/tuners about 100 miles away and I only get to see it once every few weeks. Even when the new build is finished, it will stay there.

Default reason for V6 bumper

From the builder

The reason for running the v6 bumper is because the GT bumper had a hole in it from the kill switch and we are only running one exhaust tip. We are running a full 3" single exhaust set up instead of duals (for weight savings and for function)

Makes sense, I didn't even notice it.

When you build a car for max speed, it helps to know these subtle changes really make a difference...are you running a straight turbo downpipe?

Not a clue mate. I don't do any of the work myself. It's a single 76mm system from Powerhouse. We will be maxing it out at 25-27 lbs of boost. The 302 stroker is not enough cubes for a 90+ turbo. If car performs well this race season, talking about dropping in a 5.4 and way bigger turbo.....just talk
