Rado gonna drive that thing? I mean, I know of his drag background and even his forays to Honda-Spec and other road racing, but this is a little over his head, no?

That car is beautiful!!! I can't wait to see it. I really love how these guys keep pushing the envelope. I guess "tell me how much money you have and I'll tell you how fast you can go..." is applicable.

It makes a lot of sense to have the front spoiler stick out that far in the front of the car rather than putting it on top of the wheels for down force. With it being further up front, not only does it look better but you get a lot more downforce to the front because of the leverage of having the force that front forward.

I still think it would look a lot better if they incorporated a front spoiler into the front bumper... The bumper would be a lot bigger but it would def look a lot better, sort of like the Escudo that they used for Pikes Peak, the front & rear engine AWD monster that was featured in Gran Turismo.

Here's a pic of it's massive front spoiler (which is incorporated into the bumper so it doesn't look so weird)









How's that for a front bumper/wing!? lol

Personally I think the car looks sick, I know Chris and Co will get her dialed in and she will be a serious force if not the force to be reckoned with in AWD TA.

Def looks A LOT better than the other front spoiler setup... I def like this front end... Race cars should look all crazy and ridiculous.

Holy crap, I just finished reading the whole article... Dude, 1,100HP on that thing?! No wonder they have two wings, AWD, and fenders wider than Peter Griffin! I didn't realize how insane that car really was until I went through all the pics and read the whole article (When I first saw it I was on my phone and could only see small versions of each pic and only the first three, it wasn't until I came home and got on my laptop that I realized how crazy this thing was!)


JEEEEBUS!
