I never said anything about crappy handling, but the GTA seems mainstream compared to the SLC.
Yes, physically smaller, and less powerful. Where I come from, it's bad etiquette to show up with a fast and expensive car if you don't have the skills to go with it. In the track events that I do, the average car is a lightly modded STi or Evo. The fastest guys are driving modded 350Zs. They're way more talented than me, so I wouldn't want to beat them by out spending them. The SLC is comparable to a Group C1 car. I'd like to see something comparable to a C2.
I'm not sure what you're saying.If you think that the SLC or Mk1 would be too much for you, how would aerodynamics affect the handling of a car if you're not even "using" it? Your logic doesn't make sense to me.
The SLC is actually close to the GTP lights size...its much smaller than a GTP car and smaller than an LMP1
VERY interesting about those last three pictures, the first one I have seen before and is actually a rendering done for a design that was to go over an Ultima however, the next two pictures are a completely different design.
I have always loved the way Mercedes-Benz had fluorescent colored mirrors (red or yellow). If someone is looking for practicality they have come to the wrong website. Besides, even if you could only fit one apple with you in the car and you're driving along the bumpiest most pothole containing road you'd still grin ear to ear driving one of theseMercedes-Benz C11 is nice too, and they have nice V8 too or V12

but not very practical ;-)
Thats why the LMP1 needs big tires!:thumbsup: Any chance to design the suspension to fit the wide original tires and just use spacers for the "standard" wheels/tires? Hoosier has original sized tires in their standard catalog. Hoosier item number: 43895. Expensive? I'm sure. But I'm sure well within the means of anyone purchasing a dedicated track car of this caliber.
Says the guy with 15" wide rims on his one-off widebody SL-C.HHmmmmm,
If one wanted GTP or LMP1 tire width they are the same at 14.5. Not much of a stretch from the standard SLC at 13.0 and if wide is what you really wanted I'm sure you could find a way. I don't see that as a limitation for the serious builder.
One of the coolest projects I have seen in a long time.
