This is what my Zed could look like.

Good for you, but it looks like crap... and you wouldnt want to change its design because that would be posing.
This Ferrari came with 150hp, you would call this gay as ****? or is there a design timeline in your philosophy?
The point is your cars have generic designing compared to a good looking kit car, like a Murcielago.
was for sale for $17k
That would make for 3-4 times the cost.
Interesting car kit you chose there, Im betting something like that has more poon potential, with breaking the ice and picking up women, then your common Nissan, ie g35.
What, it didnt work? I did this years back but put it on hold to make a CNC and take the kit to another level.

In my last post I made some suggestions, but I guess he has a set design and method of making the body so from here on I'll be mostly spectating.

Thats rather interesting. Obviously he's trying to make it look like a super car but what else is being done for it to rate that title. A basic twin turbo setup is not going to cut it and I don't believe the VQ35 should even be used. If that build can hold its own against the other super cars once completed then good job, but if this is being done just for looks then its gay as fvck...
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.
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

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 g35, like the z350 is bloated compared to the z32 and other slicker models. I wouldnt call it the best donor either.
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,
I use a combination of programs but basically Sketchup. The models look choppy because first I reduce the resolution so that I can manipulate it fast when designing and also because I use multiple car designs/panels and fuse them to create what I desire.
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.

I'm not going to give him a hard time with the paper mache thing, he could have just been using that to make the shape for some parts. If it held up long enough for him to lay the fiberglass, then hey, he would have gotten his parts done. I've seen people use aluminum foil and cardboard to make some parts, some just use tape. It's not like he was just going to drive around in a paper mache car, at least I hope not!!

Oh, and I'm fairly certain that Ferrari can still outperform a G35.

I think from an engineering standpoint you have an interesting idea, just like a kit car, but the problem is the amount of money needed to change the G into an exotic, plus being ridiculed at car shows is not worth it. I don't think it is a good idea to post replica lambos to show how "great" they look.. think about it, once these replica lambos get their *** handed to them by simple turbo civics or srt4s, you will be the laughing stock of your town.
You have talent, use it for actual exotics, or high end cars, like the GTR, or amg's, or corvettes.. and when you got the money, make your own kit car. The G is ill equipped for this. It is heavy, hard to tune, and costs a ton to add FI.

And this is exactly how the conversation would go:
-"Dude...that's a nice Murcielago."
"Thanks."
-"Is it fast?"
"Well, yeah."
-"Can I see the engine?"
"Erm...I don't think so."
-"Well why not? Come on, let me look."
-"Wait...why are there only four cylinders?"
-"Dude...what kind of joke is this?"
Seriously. Trying to make your car something it's not is just stupid...
This. Just because a car only has 130HP doesn't make it slow. A Smart car with 138HP Suzuki motor swap will demolish a lot of things on the highway.

I don't think the exotic community would exactly smile upon the idea of a dude strapping a Ferrari up with paper mache and aluminum foil body kits...

And the SLC looks like crap? It looks like a damn street legal LMP1 car.
So you're saying this
is better looking than this
