    SuperGT rules are getting crazier and crazier. I was reading up on the latest 1000K race at Suzuka and it made me wonder. These cars have nothing at all to do with the street versions but it is such an interesting series and one of the most competitive. All this with the cars being faster than GT1 level machines due to the amazing aerodynamics.

    Very sweet man, there are so many badass cars either coming out or already out, street cars or not its AWESOME!!!!!

    Its so amazing what Honda can do with chassis design, people wander why the s2k and the NSX are so much money for "underpowered" cars.

    They have so little in common with the street car but the fact they use a C32 instead of a full blown race engine. Granted it is about as overhauled as an engine can be, it is non the less a c32.

    But every other possible thing......All prototype that goes to the limit of regulations.

    I know the actual road cars have next to nothing in common, but for as much trash and people talk and how well their race cars do, no wander the prices of the road cars are what they are. New CTR is faster than a S2k around their test track and its FWD.

    oh, im a huge fan of the original NSX. The fact that Gordon Murray COPIED parts from his own personal NSX he owned for 7 years on his creation: Some car called the McLaren F1 speaks enough. Oh, and this Ayrton Senna character....he developed the suspension.

    Read this, it is almost a confession from the man that gave us the F1
