IMHO, this is a properly modified NSX. Not like !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . The thought had never crossed my mind how they put a steel roll cage in a car with an aluminium body, or that the NSX had an aluminium body.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The one thing that bugs me, is you have this bad-ass, no-expense-spared race car, with a cheap, off the shelf Longacre switch panel. Mounting the switches right in the existing panel (like everything else) would have been a lot cleaner.

Here's the full write up on Speedhunters: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

1. There have been mixed uses of steel and aluminium for quite a while.
2. The NSX was the very first car to be built out of aluminium.

1. I knew how it would be done, just never crossed my mind.

2. I started using a personal data-tracking app that asks me what I learned today right before I go to bed. This little fact will be for today. Thanks!

I can't look directly at it...too much sex for only two eyeballs. If I had an NSX it would look like this.

...Aluminium.


(The NSX was probably the first Aluminium Monocoque)

Really? I think its one of the coolest NSXs I've ever seen. Now, granted, it's cool in a race car sort of way, Not a drive around town and impress ladies way. To each their own I guess.

Nope. WAAAAY overstyled beyoned racecardom. Just look at that tripple front lip, messy hood design, extra vents. Its all just too overdone.
