First of all thats not rice...thats the ALpine Demo car...if you have seen it in person as i have its amazing to see all the detail and hard work put into that car. hell the paint alone is worth more than most hondas on this site haha. its not a track car lol so who cares ab weight lol...it was a Test to see what Alpines design team could create for a sema show. you're right it has nothing to do with tuning though. and that car is a good 4 yrs old
