    stick chrome wheels on, neons underneath and methanol in the tank, double the bore on the exhaust.

    EDIT: spinners, chrome spinners.

    Add a few LEDs and a large horn that plays 'La Cucaracha'. That's sure to impress. :thumb:

    methanol in the fuel tank, start with petrol, and gradualyl increase the mix, so you dont blow it up. Increase the size of the air intake and filter, strip the weight down. design a better performance exhaust.

    Nitreous boost setup? :D

    yeah, methanol as a fuel can be dangerous/disasterous too.

    100% methanol as your fuel will break it, and probably injure you.

    Remove the wheels and make it hover with a hoverskirt and things like that. Less resistance so you'll be faster and it's amphibious. :thumb:

    Efficient!

    Find some higher quality bearings/wheels. Strip off the plastic crap that just weighs it down.

    :naughty: replace the engine with 2 1000HP petroleum turbines and give it wings, and maybe considering a seat belt or ejector seat would be wise. :thumb:
