One thing I forgot to mention was how inaccurate some of the information was. For example in their Inside the Pros' Cars section they tell what aftermarket options the driver is using. On Ralph Burch's XRay T1FK05 they state that besides an extra 10 grams of weight his car is stock. Well not sure what they are smoking but here are just some of the aftermarket options I can see in the picture:

- Wide Upper Deck
- Graphite Battery Brace
- Aluminum C Hubs

That is over $100 in options/upgrades alone! Interesting how they caught the $20 JRX-S tray in Todd's featured ride but they missed the $40 battery brace in the X-Ray. Now I don't blame them for thinking that the battery brace would be included in a $390 kit (that is an Xray rant for another time) but the C hubs are a little hard to miss.
