Nah, that's the original RE-A wedge kit, totally tight JDM goodness yo.

On another note, the bumper cover and fenders do look like original S4's... maybe a serious chop up to make a kit car on a budget out of a rear ender?

Looks like a vert that's had the top, windshield, and side mirrors removed. Then they made a small 1 person cage and made a fiberglass tonneu cover to cover up the passenger side and any gaps. Then they slapped a HUGE wing on it.

Doesn't Mazdatrix have a similar vert?

He is a autox racer here in the northwest. I'm guessing its a race only car. That spoiler MIGHT be useful *shrug*

that would be a good car to hit the drive through in, then you can pull over and use that wing as a table to eat on

you all do realize that is a race car right?

There is an actualy function for the spoiler, it's not just a rice cake you dumbasses.

It really isn't anything compared to the spoilers on some of the other cars.

no duh captain obvious lol

but how efficient is a wing that big on auto-x, iv seen some action and most tracks are under 60 - 50 mph, idk. but to me seems useless. iv seen naked fc's hug some sharp turns at some neat speeds just almost where traction could be lost. im not sure but if im wrong then what ever

Alright time for a little physics class. The bigger the wing, the more downforce it generates. This means it needs LESS speed to be effective compared to a smaller one and not the opposite. The downside is a bigger wing will create more drag at high speed.

+1

Go look up pics of the 3rotor FD that won SM2 this year, or actually look up pics of any solo2 mod class. That wing is TINY by comparison.
