Take the bodies out of the trunk Mildred! Good to see a TR7 standing up for itself. [:)]

It's the weight of the roll-cage....

Great Pic! I'd love to see a side view with that big blower sticking out of the hood!
I want to see this car on Pinks!

Reminds me of a few months back when I brought home three boxes of hardwood flooring in the trunk.[:I]

I would love to see more pic"s and details about it. Interesting to see what others are doing. The body looks very straight and clean too.

Great shot. The rear bumper seems closer to the ground on the right hand side, is that from the torque twist from the engine?

Yes. All rear wheel drive cars do that on launch, drop on the right rear and lift on the front left. That's why it's good to have the driver on the left. The right rear drop can be reduced with a stiffer spring on the right side.
