    Nice track day car for sure.

    I agree the photos are too dark, may be my screen, I just can't see much detail.

    Otherwise good job and the full write up on SF is nice.

    It seems like a nice car. I think a different location with better lighting would do no harm though.

    Maybe the watermark could be altered to the photo style? Take pics like these (darker themed/toned) and make the watermark either more transparent or closer to the tone? That way it doesn't take away from the photos yet you still have it tagged. Just throwing out a suggestion, Joseph.

    I personally don't like the photos taken this way, but if this is what the photog wanted to do, then that's his thing. Only complaint about the car is the black hood (I know it's CF, but it's still black). Other wise, very nice looking. Later, QD.
    FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!

    I honestly didn't even notice the watermark until a couple of people mentioned it. I focused more on the car and its surroundings to see it.

    I love the idea of the photos but the execution just didnt come out good, dont get me wrong Corbin they are on the better end of decent but there just isnt enough detail of the car in the photos. Were these light painted or strobed with a flash?

    Keep doing what you do bro, practice makes perfect..

    Either way you will see it, some photos it shows up more than others.

    Not bad. Wish it was all white though. The carbon fiber on white just doesn't do it for me.

    Since when?? I don't debate with people who can't spell.

    Nothing at all wrong with modding/driving a vehicle to your own personal taste. Why would I want to go fast? It does nothing but cost more money.

    That would be the glorious thing about personalizing one's vehicle. You may need to look up the root word for that last one.

    OMG, yes. That picture makes it even more apparent. Looks like almost 1/2" more wheel gap in the front. How am I the only person seeing this.


    Also, I never argued the ability of the car to track well, just the reverse rake. Everyone has a different style; And I respect all styles if executed well. It just needs to come down a smidge in the front, or up a smidge in the rear.

    There is no reverse rake. You just dont know what you are looking at is all. The quarter panel is flared out in the rear and actually goes over the tire more so than the front fender.

    From the ground to the top of the wheel well is not as tall in the rear as it is in the front.
    A.K.A. The rear wheel well is smaller than the front.

    Edit: This is not "reverse rake"

    the car is corner weighted........it will never be lowered to a point where it's unstable at high speeds. 2 of my other cars are low.

    Hey, its the internet and everyone has their opinion. As you know, this car is just another toy in the stable and I am not too emotionally attached to it. It's fun, but it's just a toy.
