Re: Thoughts on the design
its an interesting thought. I'd have to see it, maybe it can be photoshopped. What I would change? Those horrible side strakes. They just look cheap to me on an otherwise beautiful car. I'd leave the scallop there, maybe open it. There are a few running around that have removed the strakes and it really is clean and nice looking. I think the car should have come a bit lower with a tad wider stance. I've seen enough of them that way, Laloggia's comes to mind as one, Andrew's old white one as well. That may be my mod (eibachs and spacers) for next year, the dual CAI was this year's. On Eric's original drawings for the car which I have hanging on my wall the car is actually lower and the strakes are there but undefined.
While most of the folks on this forum favor the idea of dropping a bigger V-8 Mercedes in place of the 6 I'd go another route, I'm an old hot rodder. I drop in a blown hemi and tub out the rear. I'd just love to see a nice polished blower sticking up through the hood and a really fat set of tires on the rear.
