@CRXPilot; In fast, out backwards: Yes, that rear fender flare really is perfect. It looks like it could have been made by the tire itself. Lovely.
@TrampaOnline: That is a gorgeous Celica.
@Jackie: I had just about the exact same set of reactions.
Doesn't the 360 have adjustable suspension? A professional racecar driver above all others should know that you can tweak handling characteristics. Take it back and have them stiffen the rear bar or soften the front, fiddle with the alignment, whatever. If you've tried that and it is still an understeering pig, then…
@Grive: Haven't seen you around before. Thanks for pitching in and straightening things out. That's what makes Jalop comments worth reading. <3 clicky for that.
Note to marketing team- When designing a "Hypercar" do not give it the name your 8-year old son suggests.
@They call me MISTER Scroggs!: Very well played.
Nice Price! Because just a turbo kit for my Miata would cost ~$3500 anyway, which would make all the other spare parts on this hideous creation practically free! If the engine work is legitimate, this would be a great parts car for me and I assume I could sell any actual BMW bits on ebay/CL etc.
@jeff-the-ffr-fan: That was horrible, but I laughed. Benny hill made me do it.
@Scandinavian Flick: Damn. That's ~$150+ of pickaxes.
@IdiotCircusBoy: You should never catch flak about the awesomeness that is the Isle of Man TT. Anyone that does has never ridden a motorcycle and has no idea how insane the IOM is..
@Foo2rama: Actually, it's been posted multiple times. It just takes forever to scroll through the reverse thread list and expand earlier replies. I replied to the first one I found saying "YES!" but then I found at least three other postings of it.
@Ash78, working for the rat race: Yeah, but 'lame and self-promoting' is the new way to live in the internet age.
@catamountdave: This was instantly one of the videos that came to my mind as well. That car wants to kill you.
@FodderTheSane: @pauljones: After seeing some pretty mangled feet and ankles I'm a big advocate of boots while riding in addition to helmets and jackets.
@luisthebeast: dude, she looks 12. Is that from your kiddie collection?
@thedudeabides: I will never tire of that picture.
@Stoatmaster is Hedy Lamarr: I actually met Davina Galicia ~12-14 years ago at a Vintage car race (maybe the Lime Rock Fall Festival). I think she was hanging out with Brian Redman. She was very nice and didn't seem to mind talking to a lowly mechanic. I had no idea who she was when we first started talking but as the…
I feel bad for the collectors who lavishly care for cars that, no matter how much they would like to believe otherwise, will never become truly collectible, but merely old and rare. At 20 years old, this is merely a pristine, old, crappy car. Maybe in another 20 years it will elevate in status to being old and rare,…
