Prestige Motorsports turned to Roadster Shop to make a custom Fast Track Stage 3 chassis. It features tubular control arms, power steering rack, and 4-link rear suspension. On each corner is a Penske ajustable coilover and Baer six-piston caliper with 14-inch drilled/slotted rotor. Covering those are Budnik Remington 19-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport tires (255/40, 345/30).
