What an insane amount of work! Crazy!

[Farabomb]

Should've just boosted the NSX and put the money into making it faster than a Ferrari.

All that work and it probally still sounds like a honda. One of the best things about the Italian car makers is the sound and proformance produced. Most are visual works of art along with the handling. Nothing beats the sound of a well tuned V12 under power. :)

the nsx is no slouch Alex, that is an amazing amount of time investment.

The NSX actually does have a pretty cool sound to it, at least the one I rode in.

[Farabomb]

Vtecs have a distinctive sound espically when the cam changes. I like the sound of a nice race preped ITR but it's nothing like most honduhs on the road with the big fart cans. The NSX is a hand built sports car that's amazingly well thought out. I know it's no slouch, it's one of two hondas I'd like to own.

I just think if it's going to look like one it should sound like one. :)

What a waste.

I'll give that guy 10/10 for effort. That kinda body work takes some skills. Kudos to him.

I've never come across an NSX on the hwy that has given me a real challenge.

And they don't do that much better at an SCCA track :D

what is it there using to make the body parts?

what is it there using to make the body parts?
Looks like a combination of styrofoam, fiberglass, & wood, reshaped and then covered with more fiberglass.

i feel bad if you crash that car. you will be in a major accident. well looks like a ferrari but will never be a real ferrari. but go job anywayz. i give you props for putting all that time into doing that craziness. well tell me what it wights?

[ricky]

after all that work you did there must be atlest a wight reduction.

[Nettik]

well,

the best part about it is the mass amount of minivans with skirts through out the slide show. :worship:

:Nettik

[unacceptable_risk]

that would depend on how much of the origional body work was cut away. and given the alloy tub style monocoque construction, you wouldn't want to cut much. I'd say there is a fair chance that much of the origional alloy is still there, and the cosmetic changes added weight. :(

[ricky]

i think it did probly add a lil wieght.
