Pettit Carbon RX-8

I've just stumbled upon this car for the first time. Hope it's not a repost. What a beautiful looking car.

I think it's a track car. So I guess the wing is functional. There's a huge meet on August 2nd in New Hampshire http://www.synaptic3.com/index.html . I hope it's going to be there so I can maybe swipe some parts.

The sad part about all this is the fact that my brother with a G35 showed it to me.

Hopefully it will see some track time soon, in Grand Am GT

Our buddy Cam over at Pettit built this amazing tubed out carbon fiber RX8 for a race series where he plans to get some much missed seat time.

Yet.

I wonder why Pettit never posted this car.

Pettit isn't very active on these forums, they're too busy working. They were going to race that car last year and were disqualified when the rules were changed at the last minute. There are some videos on youtube of that car getting dyno tuned, it's a beast.

What you dont like the smiley face? Its there to offset the aggressiveness of the wing by its cuteness lol.
