I wonder how fast he has to go to lift the front wheels off the ground and how hot the bottom of that case gets....

This was at a local PCA autocross.
904 bench press:
Don't worry - it's a replica.

That's the first thing I thought of, I bet the steering gets light when they are on the gas. I didn't even think about how hot it would get...

Quality is okay - it's a little rough around the headlights & in the side air intakes, but from 10 ft away it looks great.
It's extremely light and apparently a handful to drive.

That is my exact wonder, as well, how did he strap it into the 3rd break light?

I am guessing those straps have vinyl covered clips that engage the front edge of the trunk lid.
