I'm pretty sure GrRx8MaZdA doesn't intend to actually drive this car.
Its a show-only vehicle.
No one that is serious about building a performance vehicle - for street or race - would make these sort of choices.

That is a ludicrous suggestion.
Of course you are soliciting opinions - if you weren't, you wouldn't post pictures of the vehicle.

Sigah sigah.

Guys, if you don't like it, there are ways to say so politely. And really- the racist comments DO NOT need to be here.

Not racist. Xenophobic, perhaps. But not racist.

having that much money to put into the car is your own choice
lucky to have money to do such things

quazmosis, looking at your sig, does AP have a titanium exhaust???? I don't think so.
The titanium tips are not enough to call your exhaust titanium.
And very funny comment btw, we all laughed very much....

Not my style, but whatever floats your boat.

I do love me some carbon fiber though. I think I liked the white better though.

do not get in a wreck, u may die horribly.

Carbno fiber does not flex much, once it reach it's flexing limit (not alot) it breaks in a brittle fashion and will cut like knife through better though all softer materials (ur neck).. it is one reason why having a carbon fiber hood in a head on high speed collision is dangerous.

one more thing, carbon fiber is strong, but it is not tough.

Very cool. I love that the car weighs so much less and looks absolutely awesome.
For those who never had a project vehicle, when working you don't think about money, you think about what is cool at the time. Adding a bit here and there, taking away, changing, etc. Projects end up being a one of a kind vehicle. Hard to put a price on something that is totally unique. I have a project bike that costs about $200 a month in little bits and pieces. Some think it looks cool, others are like, "What the **** did you do to that Bandit?" It's all good.

I give your body shop guy the credit for this creation. It takes some effort to get carbon layed properly.

Its over the top... but like all things, theres people who do things modestly and others who take it to the extreme. this car is to the extreme.

Its easy to say you dont like it, it takes a little more to appreciate it for what it is.

I like it. Very unique and I applaude you for sticking with a plan and actually finishing it. Not many people do that...mostly all talk. Great job, I bet those pictures don't do it justice. Must be beautiful in person. Congrats on a one of a kind and awesome 8!

Too much going on for me personally as a daily driver though. Look forward to seeing what you do next...
