Bump - only driven in spring and fall, never in hot months here in IN. Has only had a garden hose wash 3 times - when I bought it, when it got rained on once (pop up shower) and when I brought it home from the US 41 drag strip. No swirls in paint, always dusted, wiped down with 2 buckets of hot water in garage (wash/rinse) and then spray waxed. No haze on head lights - look like new.
Oh and what toque curve - done on a Mustang dyno, always give low #s.
