I would kill to get my hands on this garage.

What production car is that based of off?

EDIT: Ah NSX of course.

ots actually the 2010 race only NSX from Honda

Pretty sure that's what it is. And now for something totally different:


The video alone will be worth this post.

And an MCoupe that won't be to anyone's liking...

But it packs something similar under the hood, except these are made out of billet...

And the infamous dumped, widened stock wheeled Z3M Roaster.

Utterly useless on the streets, or even at the track... But man.

Postfull of win. Except that the M3 now sounds like a Beretta with an unmuffled 3.1.

Also: Honourable mention to that S2000 Fred's following. I love that fastback look.

What confused me was the fact that the super gt regulations require whatever "production car" a team desides to use be homoligated and a minimum amount be produced for public sale. The next generation nsx isnt up for release until late 2010 to 2011, according to speculation and rumors. Also, Honda, as an individual entity, does not enter production cars into the super gt series.

 

[TsukubaTrueno]

Yes or no?

 

[Jetboy.]

Just for show or actually used for what it loks like?

 

[Perfect Balance]

Drifting probably. Either way, yes, though I hate the de-spoilered look.

 

[Rotary Junkie]

I like it on an otherwise stock FD but the moment you add any sort of bodykit it looks wrong.

I'm not too fond of de-spoilered FDs either.

 

[EA11R]

That's a helluva picnic table there.

They look so smooth without the spoiler in the rear.
I did the same on my own car and removed the factory spoiler with a c/f trunk. Nice and smooth the way I like it.

More pics.

 

[Time_Attack]

FDs are almost never questionable. You really have too screw up bad in order too make one look bad.

And considering that most OEM wings don't actually do anything besides keep the trunk closed I don't think going wingless is questionable.

Now that you mention it, yes. Fred, the car sounds like one of these with a broken exhaust:

Which is not something anyone should aspire to sound like.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

HA! The ol' 3.1 Beretta, so full of awesome it hurts the eyes. By awesome I mean crap. My friend had the Z packaged one with 17" AR wheels and a cherry bomb (possibly 2, don't remember that well) muffler. Pretty loud, but pretty slow too as my friends '90 Prelude SR ran circles around it.

 

[Jetboy.]

If it was a Z26 Series, you got the wrong Z. The 190-horse GTZ from 1990 was as fast around a track as the E30 M3 of the same year.

Get your ears checked...

Get your ears checked...

Mine passed the Air Force entrance physical last month, so I'm fine.

No, seriously, I get it. It's a BMW, and anything with that badge automatically is a little cooler. But it still sounds like a Beretta that decided enough was enough with pushrods and grew 3000 rpms.

I LOVE the wheels on the first S15. I always forget what they are, though.

Don't eat that Elmer, that's horse ****.

Show me the Best Motoring and I'll show you a bag of walnuts.

Work Emotion CR Kai. Also, it's the only S15 there, and it has an awesome license plate.

I was going by either Road&Track or Car&Driver, either way it was a quote that stuck in my mind like a burr cause I called BS also. Having a 200-horse Quad car myself, my views have softened a bit.
They're a lot faster than you'd give cred for.

May have been a Federal-spec M3 neutered by our emissions standards.

 

[TsukubaTrueno]

I.. know.. ?

 

[Loon]

I.. know.. ?

In your post you said you liked the first S15, implying there was more than one.

 

[TsukubaTrueno]

Oh, my bad. Got mixed up with "first car" and "S15."

What??? Noooo...seriously? I'd need to see proof to believe it. As I remember, it didn't handle very well (actually understeered into a curb, although it was probably driver error) and it jumped off the line and then lost all get up, with my friends 140ish hp Prelude pulling on him by the end of 2nd/start of 3rd.

 

[hemisport15]

Porsches that aren't done by rauh welt, that's impossible!?

I could only find 2 pics of this one though.

And here are 2 bonus pics.

That's cos it was a 3.1 car; the proper GTZ was a Quad-Four IIRC. So lighter on the nose with better suspension.
