Nice engine...but, the entire exterior does a major injustice to the lump. Seriously though- you say you are not concerned with looks, but you built the engine, right? How is that any different than a simple, clean paint job? No, crazy aero- just nice paint. If you have enough money for that motor, then you can afford paint.

motor is f***ing sick...but the paint sucks, square thing on the hood (wtf is that!?) looks stupid.

im guessing the thing on the hood is for the turbo because the hood wouldnt close.

Car is sick, I wouldnt change a thing. Don't listen to these haters... most of them don't even have half the sh*t you got. All go no show is where it's at, it just makes the nicer cars all that more surprised when you whip their a** from a roll.

Looks tough. Screw the fan boys and the hard parkers. My kind of car: purposeful and rough around every edge. I LOVE it!!!!

That carbon fiber thing on your hood looks like crap.

The engine is very nice.

Wtf did you replace the third brake light with? It looks ugly as well.

The writing on the back is lame too.

your 240 looks like the kind id see on the street and be like "wow thats really gay"

then youd spin your tires through third gear as you blow by me and ill still be like "wow, it still looks really gay"

good job on the motor, a little overboard with the company vinyls and stuff. everything on the outside is pretty bad. if you can pack that power in the bay, you should be able to keep your car from looking like it lives at AutoZone.

the thing on my hood is made out of sheet metal, its there to keep the turbo from hitting the hood,

to ghetto boys remark? how have i takled more bs? i have everything that i listed in my build thread rite there in that pic.

the interior has a 16pt chromoly roll cage, idk if you can see it in the front shot of the car but theres a moose wrapped around one of the dash bars. the interior has no carpet,, pair of black racing seats, a $hit ton of autometer gauges.

and lastly, the cars supposed to be a sleeper, im working on building a sealed undercarage as we speak, ill keep every one updated!

thats for every ones responce, i love seeing some love and hate! i like hearing everyones opinion!
