Damn it! WTH is that on the back of the car!? That's not a Thunderbird nor are we still in the 60's.

It might be for aerodynamics, but I don't think it would be all that easy to change the rear tires.

 

[drifterzzz]

I saw a vid of that car racing his lie dad's or bro's R32. Hew as pretty fast but the R32 killed him. Then the R32 caught on fire from the stress on the engine. *sniff*

If you look up Chaos, you could have just quoted me. It's alright though. You're probably going for the higher post-count. J/K

[VIPFREAK]

Nice almost thought it was a celica at first. Why do they always seem to cut the back bumper high?

This ugly ass showcar from way back 1999...

...is now running 8.45 1/4s at 180 mph.

Yup, it's the same car. Only in the bottom pic, it's been cut up a bit, for safety reasons, of course.

Well, it is for aerodynamics. If they continue the body line lower behind the wheels, it acts like a giant spoon catching air and not letting it flow by, thus, they cut it out. Then, if they need some extra downforce, they'll add underbody wings as a replacement.

That's cool. How come only Japanese cars have that then? Say like the Mercedes CLK Lm Enduro racer from I think 99? it actually followed the tire almost to the ground.

It's a Dome S101, powered by a Mugen V8. No affiliation with an Honda engine whatsoever. Dome does build the JGTC NSXs, however. There was a Mugen powered Panoz LMP1 entered last year at Le Mans, also.

Honda fielded 3 NSXs in 1995, two in the GT1 class, and in the GT2 class. The two GT1s were pretty quick, but suffered drivetrain problems, while the GT2 car won its class. To this day, it's the only production based Japanese sports car to ever win at Le Mans.



I think we killed that guy's bandwidth...
