    It's a waste of the engine and turbo setup. It needs to be in the back of an Ariel Atom, Porsche 914, or 1st gen MR2, or maybe up front in a Renualt R5. If it must be FWD then maybe a British Mini.

    I guarantee the body kit to weigh 100% more than stock bumpers with a clean bolt on aerodynamic kit. 17's on that chassis is ridiculous anyways but those wheels are hideous looking. That wings is too bulky, weighs a TON. The headlights being tinted that much have no function. Judging by the cluster fuck of wires around the battery the car has a system...a rather heavy one at that. Dual exhaust is pointless on any inline engine.

    So you're saying there's no reason any Inline should have a dual exhaust? Even perhaps an RB25DET pushing 11psi and 350hp that went from a 3" single pipe to twin 2.25" pipes split after the turbo because of clearance issues in a 240z? Let's be honest, most V6's don't "need" dual exhausts, and neither do most V8's. It's not about having the dual muffler exits, it's about having enough flow, and a single big pipe isn't always the best way to achieve that.

    Come back when you understand what exhaust scavenging and computational fluid dynamics is.
