Gary, all of the running gear is corvette, and the suspension and steering geometry is all based on the vette as well.

No Dave, you are. The tires are racing slicks. This is a racing car. Make sense?

Dave Rain Jan 30, 2013
Tires are gay.

It's all about the weight

Dwarfed wheels in the back?

Lou Guerrero Jan 29, 2013

that's exactly how it is. Nobody gets butt hurt when they lose, but it's the guys who win with a lesser car that get the respect. No respect will be had winning with this car.

You were talking about open track days, meaning you drive whatever you bring. Yes, if there are rules then it is cheating and that car shouldn't be allowed to compete. An open track day you run what you have an not get butt hurt if someone has better

@ Paul - nitrous IS cheating if your competitor doesn't have it lol. That's why they have different classes in pro drag racing.

Ben Knorr Jan 30, 2013
how would you feel annihilating a group of production cars with this? personally, I would rather lose in a fair fight than win by cheating. That's why all Motorsports are governed by rules. So the most skillful drivers are recognized.

Jason Levy Jan 30, 2013
Wow Ben got torn apart lol

Dave Rain Jan 30, 2013
Farah is such a tool. I'm not hating either, he's just not that good of a host

Paul Trahan Jan 30, 2013
That's like people who cry that nitrous is cheating. Explain to me how it is cheating. Why? Because you can't afford a decent nitrous set up and/or too chicken to run one? So you cry cheating when a nitrous car beats you. Grow up.

Paul Trahan Jan 30, 2013
Most people in Ben's world frown upon a tube chassis car is because they can't afford one, and the car pulverizes their civic si.

Paul Dickey Jan 30, 2013
How many have you lost to Ben that you're crying about it?

Chris Bjorgolfsson Jan 30, 2013
I frown upon you Ben. This thing is a pretty sweet deal!

Brad Henson Jan 29, 2013
Tube frame chassis' are used for lots of racing cars

Ben Knorr Jan 29, 2013
It's a great idea and execution, but to bring one of these out to open track days is to be branded a cheater. Tube framed race cars are definitely frowned upon at the track I go to.
