spam?

granted, it is relevant to us. but you have 1 post and telling us to go to a website...

Nice lookin 8 there. Didn't see if there were results posted though

sweet lookin 8!

that hood is gross

Not bad though I agree on the hood. The wing and chin is over the top but it is a race car. The mechanical's and interior look excellent. Like the floor-hinged pedals.

Hey I have that strut bar.

Wow........ I certainly respect the amount of work that went into that car....... but the platform of a "2002" RX-8 ????? Come on now.

Damn REW engine...oh well, still a cool car.

not feeling the hood or the fender vents and the GT wing. but i can understand why all the vents are there (heat issues and nice for track reasons). but besides that awesome

To be honest with you all, I do agree that i do not post much, I am more of a lurker just learning from what you guys say and or are doing. It helps me gauge the market as far as demand. So I do apologize for not being as active as I should. The hood is very functional all though a bit aggressive. The heat on the vehicle is very extreme and we want the most efficient system we can make.

I like it except for the hood and fenders....it needs clear corners too..haha

anyone else notice the dent in front of the rear wheel well?

that hood and fender are telling me :

We look ugly, do not buy us.

Im sure this car can go fast, but sorry I would never get some fender/hood like that.

i always wonder why these "race cars" have their fuel cells in the trunk, higher and further back than the original tanks . . .

the cyclops strake doesnt do it for me either

I love reading all the hate here...I like the car. Styling is not the best but it was purpose built so f styling. I'd love to see it on track!

^^well said bet that bad boy can move, hope you update us with action shots or video

hood and fender :puke:

Coming from someone who owns "an ugly car" to some or most of you guys, time attack cars aren't pretty to look at. They're supposed to be functional and it seems the definition of that word is lost to some. I think it looks pretty damn nice for a time attack race car... Except that baseball size dent on the rear though, ahah. Remember, I drive an econobox that has been used as a platform to take numerous amounts of track records. If it goes and performs then credit is due regardless of styling. If that 8 hits high 1:50's on its first day at BW Config 13 then that thing has a lot of potential to build off of.

+1

rx8 people are too obsessed with the looks of cars. come on guys, it's a time attack car.

^Very true. Us guys in the "race" industry love to see cars like this. Some of you hate on it...not sure why...it's a race car. Sorry it doesn't look like your "race car" in Need for Speed.

a lot of sick looking cars. nice.

but why the fenders!?

heat dissipation for the brakes.

Are you referring to the vents on the top of the front fenders? The wheel wells are high pressure areas due to it building up at higher speeds. Venting out the top reduces lift and drag. The vents at the rear of the fender would vent the build up also, if the fender liner wasn't in the way.
