Those super lite cars are crazy! 2000lbs with 600hp thats friggen rediculous! I agree with the previous post screw messing with the G trying to make a super car for 40-60k you get one of those superlites and destroy everything!

 

Props for being differenf but it might have been a better decision to buy a tube chasis from a reputable shop and then customize it instead of possibly destroying the balance/structure of the G.

 

smh

 

 

ARASHI... I couldn't agree with you more! We members of this forum do tend to think like 6th grade girls and probably will never own a beautiful exotic car that we've hand built from the ground up. Over the years there have been people like you who have followed their dreams and built their own exotics and no one would call them posers.

 

Lord, I remember those, they were everywhere!

 

Arash are you ****ing serious dude ? come on buddy, come back to reality please


guys you don't know this dude the OP, but he's a local legend everyone here in Vancouver knows him as a whackjob for his constant ideas of dreaming up **** like this.... it's a long story, but to make it short here is his main project... a ****ing paper mache 300zx kit to make it look like an exotic, that alone says enough...

dude literally tried convincing us on a local thread paper mache would work

 

Personally, I think the G35 looks just FINE the way it is.

I get compliments from people quite often. I don't think this car needs to be messed with.

 

I don't know if a G35 is a good donor car for this type of project, usually you want to start with a light car, but I've never done one of these projects, so what do I know. I'm not going to hate on people that do this because this can be a great hobby for someone.
The guy on that other website has a lot of time on his hands to chop up a G35 like that without even knowing what he wants to end up with!
Got a question for Arashi, what software are you using to do those designs? It doesn't look like that software does a good job of rendering, the designs look all chopped up, almost like paper mache designs! That guy on the other website actually did a pretty good job with that rear end design he threw up there.
If you can influence that builder, then try to go with something more modern, with some nice curves, instead of something that looks squarish and outdated, that's my suggestion.

 

ROFLOLOLOL @ the paper mache car.

that has got to be one of the best posts on driver this month.

paper mache. who knew???

 

^ Light-weight, easy to mold.

But disintegrates at speeds over 25MPH.

 

For automotive purposes, let's call that disintegration....active weight reduction...

 

Lol!! AWR psh what you know about ACTIVE WEIGHT REDUCTION! You see, I like my car to weigh more at the starting line of the 1/4 for a better launch, however it simultaniously loses weight through the race to help with better top end speed! Lmfao at paper mâché!

 

i honestly thought it could not get any worse than cardboard kits.



But paper mache definitely takes the mother ****ing cake.

 

I wouldn't do it but it does not look bad with the body lines. Just being honest.
