Its like any race car, the seat is much lower than an actual 8 to lower the center of gravity

I dunno dude, take a look at this pic again, even with a lowered seat it looks like you'd need a periscope to drive it, then if you're wearing a fullface? yikes. (I'm about 5'6-7", it'd be a struggle even for me)



edit: nevermind, I think I figured it out, you just have to roll straight gangsta' style

Megan racing makes some lowering springs that can be add very easy. Or you can get full adjustable.

dang, that is really pushing it, would totally love to do mine that low though as I can see where it would be really helpful for glare. Thanks for the pic, I was too lazy to look for one

Like most race cars the entire dash is also pushed lower to accommodate such a low driving position. You can see how much lower when you look at the role cage position on the far door where our tweeters usually are. Lois like the dash has been lowered about 3-4 inches.

dude---dont know about the rear end-----the exhaust is not my cup of tea. Maybe one like the LFA would be cool?
I have oftern wondered about where the license plate goes--what do you think about a smaller custom place on the trunk and then that big area on the bumper could be filled in and smoothed all the way across. That would allow more balance with the diffuser and single site exhaust?
Just throwing stuff out there.
Very low profile roof vent?
Really like the front--you know what would be really cool?
Center steering wheel position!!
you got the touch bro--congrats.

You guys are so funny (no i got it for free as a b-day gift jk.) All you have to do is go on ebay Japanese Performance Engines it was 4000.00 with shipping from Canada, and yes they have more about 10.

Also roto what do you mean why is this posted here?

Good job.... Nice sides like the Venom Hennessey... The rears looks corvette... Good job on the work...

The exhaust part is admirable... Just get the inner depths painted black and u should be fine...


PS: u want those thin fins on?
