Nice.

I like the vents (just above the bumper) on the silver one in the middle.

The last red one looks 8ish to me. Not a bad body kit. The reverse scoop is too much but I suspect the guy is running some gages from the engine--so if it's a race car then it's ok.

My 2 cts.

Thanks for posting them for us.

Scott

btw, where are you located in Houston?

I like the look of the Red Top /White. That wing is a little much for me But..I assume is a pure Race Car. Whitch in my opinion wouldn't make it "Rice".

But think about it, you pull up to anyone in anything with that car and Your making the cockiest *****'s think twice!!!!!

Nice Pic's

That red one is owned by a swede called Michael Mohlin, and yes he lives in Sweden! The car is a fully tubbed chassi, and has been developed over many years. The car currently competes in a nordic supercar series, and won its class last year.

The engine isnt supercharged, but it does have a 13B with a PP!

the wings might "kill them"

but just think about the cars that they are attached to. Especially the red one. I wouldn't even contemplate driving something like that, at any kind of speed without something to plant that *** end to the ground.

Personally, I enjoy the look of the white one. I wish I could find those wheels. Glad you guys enjoyed the pictures. BTW, I would like to see the videos of the red one if you could post them here.
