out of curiosity, do you feel like a child driving around in it with the way it looks? I could never daily a car that looked like that, maybe I'm just old fashioned.

Very nice.

Do you still do any local work - ie engine machine work ?

Early graduation present to self? ;) I'd def DD it and I'm way over 40! :D Sry- but that's enough power to back up that big wing IMO.

yeah i gotta say i'm with push on that one..
when i read that i think - 40 no i'm just not in high school any more....because that was the last time a wing like that would appeal to me
well maybe there was right after fast and furious came out.... :)

although i am closer to 40 then high school age

You guys must not get out to the track much if the wing has such a significant influence on how the car looks lol, or maybe everyone runs no aero?

Most ppl wouldnt daily drive this car maybe thats why? lol either way Im not about to pull it off and fill trunk holes on brand new paint job lol

IIRC Real St was making 700whp on a stock longblock, not to bad

kruze 03-18-2012 10:45 PM

Thanks man, ya its a fairly sharp car I think, but haters gon hate lol, esp when it makes decent power too lol

Nice car, What kit is that? PFab?

dc2696 04-09-2012 11:32 PM

Thanks. Love Fab, and that S2k has a 2jz in it. Check out Real Street's s2k, 9.4 on stock sealed motor now that's impressive as hell

Tekel 04-11-2012 12:51 PM

I think I love everything about that car. I would repaint/wrap the cage but leave it. Of course, I'm only 5'8" so I don't have much to worry about as far as hitting stuff goes. And pushing 450hp that wing is probably functional.

dc2696 04-11-2012 01:21 PM

I'm probably going to drop the stock seat by removing the rails, then I might clear the cage.

I'm sure the wing is functional as it one pricey ----------er, whether I make use of it is another story, although 260kph feels amazingly stable lol

chrisrm82 04-13-2012 02:52 AM

Very nicely done. I have a soft spot for F motors. And love the fenders
