Did you see the cross section diagram under Specs? I don't know if I like the idea of that Northstar bolted to wood structure directly behind my spine!
But overall the thing looks cool as hell.

Wouldn't the wing put a lot of stress on the headers?

In reply to Tommy Suddard:
I imagine there's some sort of additional support hidden in there. It's hard to tell from the pictures. If there is not some sort of extra support, then yes, I wouldn't expect those headers to last very long. The whole thing seems more an exercise in design that a serious car. It's still very cool, I've never seen reversed cylinder flow like that.
