actually yes, completely removable, but once you see the new version.... and once you drive the car with it on, you won't want to be without it..... the hole compartment is inveloped by a column of warm air, from the radiator, making it as pleasurable to drive in the middle of our winter, as would be any other car.....

The suspension geometry is not all that important. It's super light, with wide sticky tires, and alot of adjustability. If it turns out that it over or understeers more than what can be corrected for, then you switch to staggered tire sizes. It might not be the most efficient use of rubber, but it's not like he has to get the tires to fit under the body work, or is limited by sanctioning bodies rules on tire size that require absolute maximum performance out of every square mm of contact patch. If the dynamic camber, toe, or ackerman are off by a little bit it will eat tires faster, but that is not the type of car where it really matters if you can get 30,000mi out of a set of tires.
