Posted April first.
Their is no gain in horsepower, but a real gain in effeciency, performance, and MPG with the staggered wheel arraingment described above. While accelerating up to 60 MPH you ride on the 19" tires and teeter back and forth on the 18"'s until you reach 60MPH and the wing goes up and from that point on your riding on just the 19" wheels (right front and left rear.) * Much less friction. Put on the cruise, and sip that fresh and level coffee. Another discovered advantage is that you only get half the brake dust because the left front 18" stops turning until you go back to 39MPH and the wing goes down.
* Please don't try this yourself. Results were observed on a closed course by a proffesional driver ( I have a CDL **)

I can't wait until April 2nd. This is getting weird. Somebody stop me !
