No built race car, just to keep the thought out of the back of my mind. I'd like to not have to think of it.

I don't want that lingering in my mind with an 8lb flywheel spinning at 6k RPM every once and a while.

It's not like a RWD car where it's going to go through your legs if it shatters.

I'd rather save my interior/dash/firewall to some extent than nothing at all.
