1930 Model A meets F1

So this actually started as someone else's concept. The top one is a rendering and is intended to be mid engined (v8), but i don't think he has started building it yet.

This guy ran with the concept and started building, albeit a front engine i4.

no matter how cool it is, it still will sound like an s2k and that is lame.

Floppy sidewalls don't corner. He could have bought some 555RII's and had a car that would turn well.

F1 cars do have relatively high sidewalls...they run 13" rims afterall. Obviously hes chosed form over function...so id guess that explains his tire choice.

Disagree. 9000 rpm with a turbo is not lame. Some of the best sounding racing engines ever made (Offy) were inline 4.


He could really achieve baller status with a Hayabusa based V8... http://www.h1v8.com/28-bolt-v8.html

Sure, but they weren't s2k motors. They sound ricey and awful

i agree s2k motors sound pretty bad. muffler in the form of a turbo helps some.

i have a buddy with a very clean supercharged s2k and he keeps stock due to the sound of aftermarket exhausts.

Not trolling exactly... but 2 things:

1 - shitty cell phone keyboard

2 - ive said it time and again...i dont care at all about perfect grammar or type-os here. Ive admitted english and investing are 2 things i dont really know perfectly and dont care to change that. My focus is math and science...and ill only be critical of grammar in publications and work communication.

it's all good... I do care about proper grammar and strive to make proper use of the language that we all have an unspoken agreement to use as our main method of communication. Probably to a fault.

So I'll strive not to fault those tho don't!

Oh you can do whatever you want to do...just giving my stance on this matter. Perfect grammar holds little weight to me...especially on a forum where most are using tiny touchscreen keyboards.

Great english skills are good and all...but the ability to grade posts has always made me think that people have a need to make themselves feel good about something or gain a false sense of intellectual superiority. I know thats absolutely not what youre doing right now btw...but its happened enough on this site.

Do S2000s really sound that bad?

I'm sure my desire to have perfect grammar, etc. even while posting from my phone stems from a point of insecurity.

But it's still like fingers on a chalkboard to see/read it. Hmm... maybe it stems from a point of the autistic spectrum?! LOL

carry on

[Ruffdaddy]

Meh...just different strokes for different folks. Ill start a new thread detailing more about why i feel that way about it if i remember to. I know the discussion has come up a few times so it will be interesting to see different perspectives.

You dont have to.
