I'd drive the hell out of it actually. And the NA coupe in the background.

Pretty cool, I dig it, but I too like the NA coupe better. I'll take mine in black please, and they can keep the retarded Momo looking wheels that yellow one has on it.

That coupe is sick, but that roadster makes the new SLR roadster look civil in comparison.

i'll take neither... I would prefer a nice NB coupe. For some reason the only NA coupe I have seen that looked good was the Garage Vary NA coupe.

I worry about mine from time to time w/ no roll bar and just the windshield frame to support the car in the event of a roll over accident.
In this one, your head is the only thing stopping the car from meeting the pavement.
No thanks. If it had an E / F-Production style roll cage, i'd be all over it. I LOVE how those cars look

So add a rollbar, like a single part of the Deuce. :D
But really, this is just a dreaming thread, not worry about the technicalities of it. Just imagine bad **** doesn't happen. :lol:

that red car in the first 2 pics....I want to know what they did to make the car wider. I can't see a definitive "wide body" added on... but I can tell it's clearly got wider body panels on it...and it looks good.

Actually all they did was push the panels "in" at the bottom where the doors would be giving it that illusion. The fenders were pulled slightly as well. I saw this car a long time ago and remember reading about it. Can't find reference to it now, but the rest of the body is the same as stock as far as width is concerned.

If you're going to insult something because you're mad because I don't like your taste in cars, at least use proper grammar... it's the least we can ask.

No, it really is ugly as balls lol, looks like someone was bored so chopped a little Miata up and tried to make it something it's not.

Now that you mention it, it looks like they added a panel to make the top of the fender flat all the way down to the bottom, probably to help pull air out from behind the wheel cleanly. The pictures make is look quite deceiving. I'd also take a good guess that they actuall cut off a good portion of the fender under where that added panel is.
I know if I were to ever build a serious NB, i'd do something similar...and the funny thing is, i've been thinking about something like that for quite sometime....kinda like the full-race RE Amemiya FD's.

I like that, but it needs a full cage, just doesn't look right with race car parts and not even a bar. I'd track the hell out of it.

Agreed.
Every time I see that rear bumper, I get more and more interested in doing some serious DIY aero work. First things first though...
