26B (Two 13B's bolted together) has been done quite a few times. 2.6L 4 rotor.

Quite cool, they are.
 
My girlfriend found this and thought I should post it here. It had trailer lights along the bottom of the car :lol:.

Might be the phone, she was using my Razr which makes everything orange for some reason.
 
If you knew the area we were in it wouldn't surprise you to see a car painted with spray bombs.

Perhaps the owners do. Not everyone wants to have stone chips in their cars they pay good money for.

Not everyone wants to buy a used car that has an area of paint that was ruined from sitting underneath a god-damned bra for who-knows-how-long, either. Just ask me.

I'll never understand why people insist on protecting their paint by covering it up with a big black ugly thing and letting the trapped moisture eat at it. As if keeping the paint nice matters when no one can see it.

Aye, but they're never as efficient as the factory 26B, and need substantial turbocharging just to come close to the numbers the original made naturally-aspirated, albeit on racing fuel.

The only use I could ever imagine for these things is to keep the front protected on long road-trips, then removing it once you get home. I'll never understand why people use these butt-ugly contraptions 24/7, though. Like their human counterparts, car bras only serve to cover up the goods.

Something like that.

My Talon had one when I got it - It didn't take long for it to come off. I still do use it occasionally when I'm going on long trips or out to autocrosses - It protects against cone scuff.

Concerning the Ferrari, you'd think that if he could afford the Testarossa (Or is it a 512TR?), he could at least afford to have a bra made that fit the car properly - Not like that abortion that's on it now.
 
The wheels are special 20" Giovannas. I don't know what model, IF there is a model.
BTW, I think the car looks beautiful compared to the 2000 T-bird.
 
This old dude thought his dumb looking "Mako Shark" Corvette was cool. It was hideous--and actually slow. We raced and I beat him in my Prelude. I was just cruising along at the speed limit--doing nothing bad (my radio wasn't even on)--when he just kept revving his engine at every red light and jamming on the accelerator when we were moving. So, after five minutes of this I decided to see what his POS was made of. Apparently not much, because right after I beat him (1~1.5 car lengths) he quickly made an escape. I won't disclose the actual speeds. Yes, I'm a hypocrit, I don't normally condone street racing--but not only did this dude have it coming but the road was fairly empty of traffic so I ablidged. Hell, my Camaro could of beat this dude's car. His car not only looked like ass but sounded terrible as well. He must of had a mid/late-70's model where the BHP was less than 200.

THIS is HIDEOUS. He completely ruined a C3 Vette--which is my favorite. That's either a one-off job or he fabricated the C4 rear bumper and did the rest of the gross stuff himself. Either way, it was really freaky ugly.

I think he answered your question in the post. Unless its one of those rhetorical annoying ones everyone around likes to put up when something "questionable" racing wise comes up. Could rename this place forum of hypocrites half the time.

That aside, JCE those things typically are slow. Just the owners think "Corvette" or such, and assume it must be fast. Its truly glorious.
