Vivid make a winning car? What kind of races? Drag? Road Track? AutoX? Touring Cars?

Last I heard, all they made was showcars.

Winning car

Not winning races in the sense, but more like "you aint ever gonna have your ride on the cover of any pop mag in you life" or "win any car show "type winning. as far as track status look at the site, Im sure he rank top three once or twice. further more why are you trying to be difficult, hater!

lol, I wasn't trying to hate on any ones car.

I just completely misunderstood. When someone says "winning car" I generally think of races or whatnot, I usually forget about stuff like winning car shows and getting on magazine covers. In my opinion, both ways of acheiving a "winning car" are legitimate.

Vivid getting magazine time is a slap int he face to all of those peope who have been burned by them. Someone needs to remind Vivid that it's customers who buy parts, not magazines. Building showcars is great and all, but shouldn't the primary focus of a business be taking care of customers?

That said, I actually like the new Vivid car becuase it doesn't have a massive wing on it like nearly every other showcar....
But it's not really any faster than stock.

VIVIDRACING makes great looking cars then just sells them. What's up with that? You know they've sold all their WRXs right, on ebay? The Blue one and the 04 Red one. Watch for the EVO on Ebay a couple of weeks from now. They're all about the money, not the passion for cars.

I never had business with them and don't know their practise, but as far as selling their cars it's a great way to advertise and the money can to building other cars. Also why does selling the car make then not passionate.

I never dealt with them either but like everyone else who has dealt with them have told me. They jack up their prices, don't have any customer service at all, what does that tell you? No wonder they lost their vendor status its coz they don't care bout anyone else but them.

If you want to read a good Evo article, check out Sport Compact Car. They do a full comparison this month of 9 EVO's prepared by Vishnu, Toda, Sparco - Apex'i, Road/Race Engineering, RB Motoring, Works, Rhys Millen Racing XS engineering and Mitsu's own Evo RS.
