| It reminds me of that one mustang build that was liked here a while ago, where the guy was not only replacing the skins with C/F but also all the Frame/supports/backings, or whatever you want to call them. |

If you were asking about my comment, I was mot talking about the actual car frame, but the frames/supports in the doors and roof, and C/F I much stronger than Steel |

Would this car be a good platform for Time attack though? From what I remember I haven't seen too many Supras in Japan running Time Attack. Just wondering.
Especially the low weight high HP, I would hope he doesn't run into traction issues. Even with those huge meaty tires. IDK, it's a cool car and the build up is like looking at a work of art but I am a bit skeptical how this thing will perform on the track against other cars especially AWD cars. |

I think it's more of a "show car/time attack". Cause your right I can't see it being a very effective track car. |

It definitely will look cool when it's complete and I could see them making $ale$ for the carbon fiber pieces they made, now that they have a mold. |

It says somewhere in that thread that the guy is already getting flooded with orders for the full carbon kit. So it's more than paid itself off already. |

| You can barely hook up a GT47-80 on a US drag strip on slicks in a straight line. On a Scandinavian airstrip road course? Not a chance. |
