A view looking forward from where the back seat would be.

"A Forest Of Injectors"
View of the engine compartment. You can see the forward half of the cage, the LSX motor, and "A Forest Of Injector Stacks." This could also be the view a competitor will never see.

Injected LSX

This is a detail shot of the side of the trunk. Seen are the floor pans, wheel house, electric emergency cut-off, and rear brace for the cage.

Rear Suspension
This view is looking up from under the fuel cell. Our HRCC Fabricated 9" can be seen, along with RideTechs' coil over shocks. Moser Engineering components are used exclusively to build our 9" Ford axles.

This is a view of the inside of the trunk, minus the fuel cell. The gaping hole in the middle is where it drops in. You can also see the lightened cross member behind the axle.

View of the upper control arm mount and bracing on the 9".

Fuel
The Grey Ghost had fuel fillers on both sides of the car. We speculate that this was done as you never knew what side of the track the pits were on, or maybe so that if the pit crew was servicing the wheels on one side, the fuel guy could go to the other. We wanted to pay homage, so the GTO-R has one on both sides. And both function

You can see a good portion of the rear half of the cage in this photo. Cages equal stiffness.

Gearbox
A view of the TTC Magnum T56, with Hurst Blackjack shifter and stick. Is there another shifter than Hurst?

Detail
A view of the drive shaft loop, under floor bracing at the middle of the car, and the crossover in the NASCAR exhaust.
