      That's definitely a showcar. It's a incredible piece of work, but in no way a car that will see dedicated track time...too much of an asset now.

          Roundel should be treated just like GRM. No scans. Pay the fee cheapos.

          As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
          You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

            I see infront of me as I look at page 56. They moved it back 9" and put the tranny in the rear. It might handle awesome depending on what you compare it against but the car could've been made to handle better in other ways, powered by a different powerplant and still be trick.
            Like I said before - I am not dissing the car - it's just not what I would do and it's evident we have varying opinions.

            Weight is the devil and suspension tweaks can only go but so far.
            The car was not made to handle this kind of power even with all the reinforcements done it's just too much to expect the car to handle like an optimal car of this weight should.

            Why have power and not be able to use it all. waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles-footing and not going WOT is boring

                      I have to agree that it is a very, very impressive display of creative engineering but its just a bit too much. The quality of the execution would have me questioning whether such a car should be flaunted on the street or track. Its definately a top-notch show car if nothing else.

                      Props to the mad scientists who created it 8)

                            Just because theres a lot of money in the project doesnt mean it wont be tracked. How is it too much, everything that was done is form following function? Just because it looks perfect doesnt mean it wont be tracked.



                            Another example of a gorgeous, very expensive monster build-up that sees a lot of track time.
