those are some pretty "blingin" wheels for a race car

also, what's the sense of taking a really fat luxo cruiser and stripping out the luxury stuff to make a race car? why not just put the engine into a chassis that's more lightweight to start with?

Farhead is almost the very definition of a troll

He has only posted once and that was just designed to antagonise.

Whoever you are, what makes you think that a 600hp car is a CGT killer? For a start that is still less power than a CGT. You don't mention the weight, or number of gears, or braking performance, or lateral G performance, or....

(yawn)

You can make japanese econo cars just as fast, and now a days dozens of cars are "surpassing 200." Its meaningless. Those cars will never have the feel of a racebred machine handcrafted for just that purpose. Since most people will never seen the 200mph mark, much less 150+, it frankly doesnt matter how fast the car can go. Every body is in the 3 and 4 second range, and everybody has this much hp, blah blah blah. Numbers have lost their meaning. We are in a time where feel counts for more than anything i believe. Lesser cars modded just arent quite the same!

again, tuning a car to keep up with a car that has off-the-showroom floor superior performance. Doesn't even compare to the Carrera GT's power and essence.

I guess looks can kill and a CGT will implode when it sees this Carlsson abomination.
