Instead of that wing, they should just build a gear box with 6 reverse gears and a whole lot of rear view mirros.

Hopefully Redline ban’s this sort of shit after this season. Feels like racing in the 70’s all over again.

Glad I’m not the only one who thought of 70’s race cars

If i recall correctly from my RVD class, that setup worked really well, because the downforce generated by the wing is applied directly to the unsprung mass.

why is that, hes getting the name out there of Scion, hes kicking ass while doing it. I dont see why Toyota would have any problem with it, and after meeting the vice president of scion i doubt he would either.

My 1st impression was, Look at that POS.

Consumers are fickle, and function or not, it looks stupid.  
Its a giant… Look what I had to do to win with my car advertisement.

In general, I like scions too.

One hard brake check from a competitor would disable his “advantage” hehe.

You are correct sir. Do you remember the name of the guy that built all those crazy cars? Do you remember the car he made with fans on the back that created a vacuum under the car to give it better handling? Awesome.

Do Lambos normally have two sets of coil overs per corner? Seems wasteful.

I found this siq picture on accident.
