The strut assembly is ride height adjustable and springs can be changed to alter the ride from sport to race. The strut is bolted to the spindle which carries the ventilated front disc (330 x 28mm) The RT4 model comes completed with a chrome finish to for a traditional, classic look.

The fiberglass bodywork exterior details include a hood scoop, a Le Mans-style fuel filler, glass wing windows, a chrome roll hoop and quick-jack points, and side exhaust pipes with heat shields. The 18 Halibrand-style wheels are secured by three-eared knock-off spinners retained by safety wire and are wrapped in Goodyear eagle tires measuring 245/40 up front and 295/40 out back.

The cabin houses seats trimmed in Black leather along with color-coordinated carpets and Backdraft Racing floor mats. Amenities include flip-down sun visors, map pockets in both door panels, and Sabelt multi-point harnesses. The car was optioned with the Big and Tall package, which includes wider seats and a recessed driver-side floor.
