Cars that get you all hot and bothered

[REED]

this looks more "Cars trying too Hard" than "Hot & Bothered"

[ScottyB]

yikes.

also, could someone explain the logic of building a track car out of the spyder model? lightness or pimpability?

Have you ever dropped the top doing a buck 20 on the front straght at VIR? Well then I guess you've never lived.

The car actually is incredibly fast, on its test run (first time ever run) it only placed second to a mazda backed mazdaspeed. He kept with the spyder as it was "his car"/everyone asks him that on the dsmforums. Yeah he could go awd, yeah he could go hard-top, but I guess he gets his kicks with it.

PS- All those splitters/louvers/bumpers are incredibly functional, should see the engineering on them. Even the splitter, you can literally jump up and down on, thats how strong it is, so that it actually helps instead of just looking like a piece of cool looks.

Oh and just to be the typical dsmer, it puts down 620whp.....reliably somehow someway (guess once a dsmer has money its just not ghetto rigged anymore lol)

While I'm not a huge fan of the looks of that car, the engineering alone is enough to get me H&B. It's a really interesting build to read through.

That was originally a salt flats car.....til he got kicked out for kicking everyones ass, so he just stuck with the platform

Link the build thread/pics?

*cough* and guess how he blew the motor this past season? Not running timing covers *cough* adam *cough cough gag cough*

[ViPER1313]

I am running a timing cover....

It's just missing a small piece out of it :wink:

Find my Walboro 255 - I know it's in that garage of yours somewhere, along with my old head unit and anything else that was in the Talon at the time. I want to get this turbo on :twisted:

The car actually is incredibly fast.

i have no doubt. i saw the robispec sticker and that alone is almost enough to know it would go around a track well.

i was genuinely curious about using a spyder, not knocking it. some people choose the less performance-desirable models to build from to show how capable the tuning is. plus if he has a sentimental attachment to it, we all know how that goes.

i think the front looks mean, but i'm just not hugely into the tacked on skirts/rear cladding and the top just looks bizarre on a car like that.

^^ Gosh I will have one of those someday!

[TorinoCobra070]

I hope to have mine before next auto-x season.

Isn't that the thing that almost killed Jeremy Clarkson on TG?

Yes, it also almost killed a lot of other people lol. Totally worth the risk.

I dunno if its the same car but that white supra with the "Single" license plate video is a jackass.

Almost killed me, himself, and other people on the road when he swerved across 4 lanes slaptanking when he lost control trying to show off in front of me. The one time I dont try to egg on :finger:
