When I first saw Octane's car (back when it was still red), I thought "woah..I like this setup" and even printed out a copy of the image...with hopes to doing a similar setup. See, I (and probably everyone else on this particular section of NICO) bought a vert...b/c I wanted a 240...but a pimpable 240. Meaning...I like speed...but I also like looks...so having a hidden brace seemed just the ticket.
Then I started going to a few drift events. Then more events....then more...
With drifting, a good cage setup is key. I've seen cars flip and ****...and believe me...when I think of that....that's when I start thinking that Octane's setup is a no-no. Thus...I started to get more and more into a full cage setup (btw: This is "want" of mine...hopefully by end of spring...i still dont have a cage yet).
Ask me a year ago if I thought a "halo" setup on a vert was cool - and I would have said hell no.
Ask me now - and I think it's teh hotness.
Thus....which is why I am not feeling Octane's setup on the brace anymore...I want something stronger, safer...etc
But again...these are just my words and I by no means, mean to discredit Octane's preference. The vert is hot.
