are you going to do anything with the headlights again this time around?

and you know you probably walk faster than the real top speed of your soon-to-be V350T tiep-arr.. ally ou need is a big-ass red H badge from an FD2..

and the D'Sixteen's wheels are mo gangster-er than your whole V350T tiep-arr.

if you're into advanced aeronautical heat-shielding, you ought to use some super-porous lightweigt ceramics for the wing underside.. space shuttles are more JDM than fighters..

have any pics of thatthere underbody?

oh yeah, also, have you got any pics of the front.. like.. from the front? how does the air get under the car to suck it down? it looks like the nose is pretty stinkin' low, and there doesnt look to be an underbody intake-type provision to feed the diffusers any air down there.. i know you guys like to ride dumped in the bay.. but you may need to raise it up in a place or two to ensure good underbody airflow riding all slammed like that.. did you have to roll the fenders to tuck those wheels, y0?

lol, no more changes to the headlights for the foreseeable future.

And don't underestimate the speed potential of my 2000 hp General Electric T700-T6A gas turbine engine. It is more than enough to walk all over your D'Sixteen

Ceramic tiles? Hah, that mess is unneeded, especially since the tiles are so thick (about 1.5" thick). A nice sheet of stainless steel will do just fine.

As for the bottom it is still being tweaked. But it does have a very long rear diffuser that starts roughly where you sit in the car, and is split into two tunnels. It also has a front diffuser similar to the Toyota GT-One. I'll post pics of the bottom when I get it done...
Anyway the V350T sits higher than the GT-One, which has a very low front. As does the CLK-GTR, 787B, and countless other race cars.

And a pic of what I have so far...

More progress...

Still needs:
Suspension arms
Interior tweaks
Front and rear brake ducts
New windshield wiper

I take it you're keeping the undercarriage so low poly because it's mostly black? are you going to make it very detailed there eventually or what?

Indeed, although later I may give it a carbon fiber texture. But for now it stays black. Oh, and here is the original drawing I made of the car over 3 years ago or so, before I modeled the car:

wow.. that was 3 years ago?

crap..

it still needs a sticker that says "here in the bay, we ride dumped every day."

Another random car I thought up...
I call it the Raptor. It is a small, lightweight (1,200 lb) car that seats two in tandem. Has a front-mid mounted small block Corvette V8 (LS1, LS2, LS6, or LS7), along with the Corvette's rear mounted transmission. That is about all teh info I have for now so time for pics!
