I was linked by my Audiboy brother... the owner of the Frontrack Fury (aka Frankenstein)...

Audi A4 1.8T- 205hp, 250lb/ft... probably more now with the K04... once he gets the right software...

Audi engines are scary.

Eh, it's not that ugly, and certainly has the performance to back the "aggressive" look.

I like it. A lot. It's a hell of a lot better than most of the new cars on the road today. I like the front end a lot. I think the ugliest thing on four wheels was that pink girlie S2000 from 2F2F (NO, I DID NOT see it. I just read a Sport Compact Car article in which they insulted it a lot while driving it).

I like it. I guess it wasn't made for looks, maybe aerodynamics with a top speed of 224mph.

Looks aggressive, and has the power to back it up. Skidpad numbers?

I apologize, Jesda has a new winner for the ugliest...



But the Orca takes a close second.

nametakennow: I SAW that Miata at the IASCA World Finals in Memphis, is that where you took that pic?

Anyway, I don't think the Audi-engined thing is ugly, it looks like any other Lemans-styled sports racer (a la Audi R8, Bentley Mark 8, CLK GTR, etc...) I like it.

Yeah, its not the prettiest thing, but at least its purpose-built. Ugliest thing on four wheels HAS to be the aztek.

I think it looks good but that weight has to be off. A lotus elise bearly weighs that and it's tiny and has a tiny motor with all light weight parts. That has a huge v8 motor in it. I dunno, if thats the true weight thats pretty insane.

The proportions arent quite right, but it does have the stance of a Saleen S7.

it's probably not a huge motor really...

weight wouldn't be much more then a hundred pounds or so difference probably. (ok, probably a little more then that, but nothing huge...)

wonder if it meets any kind of DOT safety standards...

No, Jesda provided the pic in another thread about the Flying Miata.

That car makes me want to die.

So does lying about a puppy dying...
