It's the Mazda MarkII IMSA GTU kit. The extra-wide rear fenders were called GTO fenders. Looks like the guy cheaped out and didn't buy the door caps, so it looks a little funny to me. And I have a few doubts about his quarter-mile time.

same here, 13.5 seems a little too quick.

anyone know what that kit is made out of? im thinking fiberglass since its probably made for road racing. i wouldnt want to be driving that in a tight parking lot, with those big tires, no power steering, and wide ***, fiberglass fenders that will crack if you bump something

i do like the front shot though, it looks badass, but i agree, the doors look funny

All right... too much of a good thing is still too much.

That looks stupid, IMO. You could use your car as a mobile workout gym, however, since you'd look like Arnie after driving that thing with no P/S for 2-3 months...
