I'm also considering a new fuel cell for the race car.
I'm trying to decide between 8 and 12 gallons.  I'm not really sure what
fuel mileage to expect out of the race engine, though.  I don't want to get
too big of a tank, but then again, I don't want to get stuck out on the
track, running out of fuel on my victory lap.  :)

I'm probably going with an ATL cell.  I think ATL and Fuel Safe are probably
the only ones that make cells legal for SCCA Production classes.  The ATL
cell dimensions seem to fit the existing hole in my trunk.
