Have been looking forward to this for some time. Great build and great to see a 944 turbo on Speedhunters.

Yeah, except per the comments, people can't even tell it's a 944. Mechanically, it's a huge leap forward. Cosmetically, it's gone backwards.

Compared to a lot of time attack cars the outside is pretty tame

Cosmetics aren't the primary concern with T.A. cars...and this isn't the final version of this car.

Thanks guys.

I realise the car isn't to everyone's liking and people are going to mistake our cars for RX7's even when they're stock.

There are things I'd change also. The front Aero treatment was actually thrown together pretty quickly. We will be looking at this in the off season. Depending on budget there will be anything from minor changes to a complete overhaul of the Aero on the car.

What have you done under the car for aero? Do you plan on adding a diffuser in the future?

Patrick - when a car's as fast as yours - guys shouldn't be criticising the aesthetics of the end they'll seldom ever see.

In the interests of being community-spirited you should concentrate on making the back end pretty - it'll give some consolation to your competition to see a pretty *** disappearing from view!
