I'm not sure what you're getting at here. In the real world, a widebody is either a) for looks or b) so you can fit bigger rubber. This is a SEMA show car with a custom targa top, plush leather interior, 19" wheels, and a big stereo. Adding maybe 10lbs of steel is pretty insignificant in comparison.

No.

I wasn't driving, but one time I was riding with my family in our Suburban and the wheel fell off. It rolled away and almost took out a Jeep.

I don't think it's a GT-R, so it wouldn't have had an RB26 to begin with.

No question. I love all the sounds that accompany a bonkers turbo setup during drifting, but there's a reason most everything is V8 swapped nowadays.

If the fenders are already steel, and those fenders are cut off to add slightly larger steel fenders...tell us how much weight is really being added.

How are these two things related at all? A widebody means widened fenders...the size of the engine bay isn't altered. The only way to change that would be going tube-framed in the front end.

Metal's cold. Ugly. Wood's warm. Clean. Provided by nature. Seeing a wooden electric car take shape is like watching a child grow.

It's a fairly interesting car for $2300, but I can't imagine actually wanting to own and drive it. CP.

For an etymology lesson:

This is a 240Z.

And this brings us to the primary problem with the LFA: no living human being has ever actually seen one in person.

You could never afford this? Are you homeless?

You seem like a good dude, Tavarish, but these articles are the definition of formulaic. Like NP/CP, but less interesting.

An LS motor makes a lot of sense in an FD. It doesn't really add any weight, but improves power, reliability, fuel economy, etc.

I'm sorry, but that's not how it works at all. How boring would Jalopnik be if we were only allowed to voice opinions about cars we've driven? I've driven all sorts of cars, new and old, fast and slow, boring and exciting. I've read reviews of cars written by journalists or enthusiasts I trust, and I form opinions…

Have I driven an S4 Elan? No, but the universal opinion is that they're great drivers cars. Have you driven an S4 Elan and can confirm that they're not? If you've decided that they're equivalent to any other car from this era, fine, but you are wrong. I've driven plenty of vintage cars, having worked at a restoration…

-Because it's old? No, that doesn't really matter as much as you seem to think. It's simple in the same way a new Caterham is.
