Honda does note always equal rice. A carpet queen with lots of visible mods (well-built though they may be) that can't be driven on the street = rice. While that Benz probably runs 10s if not 9s, good luck getting it to the track without a flatbed (and have fun getting it on and off of that). Impractical cars = rice.

Although, if I were gonna do something rice... that's pretty close to how I'd do it.

Survey says: RICE.
if i paid that much money for that car i would MAKE IT POSSIBLE to drive it. and my survey to the people on the street when i pull up beside them would be---"do you have one?"

Actually, it probably only needs the coilovers adjusted from where the marketing gurus wanted it to where the actual engineers want it. That and some lighter wheels would probably totally change my mind about that car.



Well, that and dropping a real transmission in it.

The doors are neat...the rest is a waste of a car...not streetable, not trackable, not garageable, basically useless unless you like taking pictures of your own car.

What are you guys talking about? WHat part of that car is not for the street or the track. I bet that car is a great street car and would run great at the track. that company puts great mods on their cars, awsome coilovers, engine mods and what not. It would take STi or WRX on the street and track anyday.

As it looks in that picture, it is way too low and stiff to use on the street. And it would be trackable- provided you could get it there.
