I don't know what "facts" to trust in the article.

Claimed 190mph top speed?

They claim 90lbs of weight reduction. Where is that coming from? The wheels and suspension pieces? It is my understanding that they fit 285s in the front and 305s in the rear on those wheels....which negates the lighter wheels (per Dinan site: 22lbs front and 23lbs rear)

The carbon fiber intakes I though uses the same bottom of the air box but adds the carbon fiber tops and runners from the front of the hood (lincluding a mounting bracket).

To me 90lbs seems VERY optimistic.
