G in this months Import Tuner
I love everything about the Havoline Racing revolution g35,top notch I wish Dara Sodano would work on my g35.Everyones hating and bitter there g35 is not as nice mostly guys they dont like to be beaten by a girl.
I love all the "it's ugly" or "I hate it" comments they make me laugh... Let me give my 2 cents here.
First, it's a purpose built show car. Now like any "purpose built" car, when they built it they built it for a specific reason. I would imagine this one was built to get attention, lots of attention... I would imagine it has lived up to that task
99% of the people that see these cars will not like everything or maybe even ANYTHING that the owners did to these cars.
Second, saying "I wouldn't do it" or "it's over the top" is kind of pointing out the obvious
kind of like pointing out that a full tubeframe race car is "over the top" when talking in terms of performance... Of coarse it is, that's why this car wins trophies and gets tons of press and has hundreds of people googling over it at every show it goes to, cause it is SO over the top!
In respect to show cars this one is CRAZY! Kudos for fufilling their goal of having a one of a kind, insane G35... Cause nobody can deny that they fufilled that goal!
Bottom line I think is, don't hate the fact that the car is not to your liking, appreciate the fact that the people put in tons of work and tons of time to come up with something that is unlike anything else out there. "Don't hate, appreciate!"

Nice flame job (the paint I mean), too much suede in the interior. I appreciate all the work that went into that car though.
Here is a pretty interesting example of LESS being more IMHO....


It did at one point have Graphics on it as it was a SEMA show car for Procharger and Toyo Tires...

i wonder, would the outcome be any different, with all that engine work and none of the suede? That's what I'm saying. I've seen many show winners, and my cousin owns a Import euroasia winning Integra. If you know what Im talking about you'd know how hard it is to win best acura. He won it all motor and racing interior. Not pimped out.
Not every winning show car has to be over the top tacky to be a winning car. But credits are due where they should be. No one else could pull all these sponsors together except for her, so mad props on that.
Personally, I think the whole design has no consideration in mind that this is a G35, which means, the same exact paint job package and all the rest, could have been done in any other car. Just which part do you think had to be a G35 to have made it a winning show car?

There is even a die cast model her Civic.
Best in the West, 2nd in points, and Best Honda. With a track record like that why are you even questioning why she chose a G35 as her next project?
She even fabricated her own parts for it, come on now has anyone else done that with their G35?
