I hate the random lines, swoops, fins and bulges...I'm sure it's one hellva ride, but still. You can drive the piss out of anything...but I rather it not be ugly.

Dont know if we are looking at the same car, but that bitch flows damn near perfectOriginally Posted by Christopherr
I guess...those fins on the front finders.Or the rear wing that's attached to where the old integrated wing used to be.
Don't get me wrong...I fell in love the the 90's, my fav the 97 NSX-T. It's a classic car designed in the 80's. I still remember when I saw the lines in Road and Track many moons ago and thought to myself... it's subtle and sleek, perfect. Now, all I see is a old canvas with babbles and bolts that ruins the original masterpiece.
Ugly...but to each their own.
No.
The scoop is what the NSX is allowed for aspiration in the GT500 JGTC class.
The body lines on the RR are meant to mimic the silhouette lines of the GT500 race car.
Is it ugly as a street car? That's up to whoever you ask.
Is it stupid Honda and Mugen use an unfunctional scoop on a street car? Yes.
Are you sure it would be non functinoal? The side scoop have been shaved so it appears this is the new air source for whatever those fed (IDK the structure of the NSX but I'm guessing side radiators, maybe an oil cooler, or brake ducts?)
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
Good point you bring up on the lack of side openings. When i saw the RR for the first time, it reminded me off the Honda version a few years back in which it was obviously not feeding air into the engine.
It is still not 100% necessary though as in a proper race car, those intakes provide a direct ram air into the intake chambers through some sort of tunnel. In the 3500cc NSX engine, there are no restrictors in the intakes so you don't see little funnels in the actual intake.
Something like this. (I used an F3 engine as an example)
I'm sure there are better ways to aspirate that engine without needing a "mock" scoop. I can find a pic of a 2008 spec car with the rear body work off to see how it aspirates this.
I think a better version of a Super GT replica would look like this...
and you drive a firebird?
intentional irony
I think they tried to make it look semi radical while giving all of the wild panels as much functionality as possible.
I don't think all of these pieces were just randomly drawn out and slapped on visual appeal.
Like I said before...I'm sure it's an awesome car. I just hate seeing, what I feel was a perfect car in it's -original- form, be aesthetically challenged.and you drive a firebird?

All of this is my OPINION. You can argue with me all you want...it's ugly to me. You can't change my mind about it...just as I can't change your mind about anything either...you feel a certain way just as I do. It's why we share our thoughts. As before, to each their own. Please quote everything I say if you intend to.
My car isn't the center of discussion btw. Stick to the subject...my ride isn't as entertaining to discuss anyway.
Those random lines, swoops, fins, and bulges are functional pieces. Aerodynamics
As for the scoop not being functional, that sucks...
