Doc and Steve, are you guys running the LW suspension? The front or center one-ways? Universals? Titanium Turnbuckles? Sway bars? Right there's over $200 in parts. I'm not dissing the 05 one bit, as I like mine a lot too. But saying that you're running virtually box stock is a bit mis-leading. Good value? Definately, but to go faster with it you'll want some key additional parts. I think the only parts I had on my car at the Nats were the low friction belts, front/center one-ways, Universals, sways, the LW arms, and some suspension blocks recycled from an Evo 3. I only got about 1/2 a pack of practice thru the car before the first round of qualifying began and was sitting 6th after the first round. Just my $.02
