Because everything newer is so big. Front end is ugly but function \> looks. I wonder if the transmission is in the back. ---

šŸ˜ƒ I love how much respect & inspiration they have for our s-chassis cars in the homeland of Japan, especially the S13 in this case! Iā€™m looking forward to the updates on the Top Speed run, they say that car has stole the show. No doubt itā€™s a unique build! Didnā€™t know about BenSopra till now, and Iā€™m impressed! ---

^ agreed, all the time and money that has gone into that build and there using a 20 year old chassis design. Iā€™ll be keeping an eye on this. Anyone else notice that hideous coolant over flow tank in the mix of with all the custom work ---

Well for one stop on a closed course like nardo they donā€™t need insane brakes. They are not doing corner to corner heel & toe going crazy on a road coarse. ---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ---------- ---
