I still think it looks like shit. No matter if it belches out virgins from the tailpipe when it races around Road Atlanta with 1 second lap times.

I HAVE raced. I HAVE gotten paid for driving and I was an instructor. I STILL think it looks like shit and if I was at Waffle House after race day i'd STILL say it looked like shit.

You feel like you have to defend this car when in reality you don't. You like it...GREAT!!!! I hate it....GREAT!!!! It's not your car so realize that everyone doesn't like what you like simply because it COULD be a great racing car. But....you honestly have NO CLUE how good a car it is because all you...and everyone else in this thread have seen is 2 photos.

So get me some number, lap times, weight, specs, the drivers name and his position in the points standing and THEN we can have a discussion on the performance of it. For all we know it could be some guy's first day on the course and he decided to chop his window off to be cool. It really looks like a mildy modded S2000 with no window. So who knows anything.

Until then.....it looks like shit.
It's not the car i'm defending as much as the purpose of a functional track car. I'm willing to bet 9/10 people criticizing the car have never been to the track or involved with racing, modern or historic & vintage. I don't know any experienced drivers/crew members/fabricators/mechanics that don't appreciate something built for function. Sure it looks "different" but as I said earlier, you can't see what the car looks like from the drivers seat.

Touche. Paid by who and instructing for what organization or sanctioning body? Out of 2,246+ posts in 3 years you have 12 in the competition forum, 8 are comments on drift events, and none have anything to do with road racing, not even the slightest intuition. Someone of your stature should be able to offer a ton of insight and knowledge to the countless threads people have created and questions they have had...so please educate me.
