It's doesn't matter how much HP you have on a race car to make the wing effective. You'll still hit the same high speeds when cornering. Great build.

thats right. although 300-315hp might not seem like that much, you have to consider its 2400-2500 lbs, which gives it a better power to weight ratio than the IS-F. add this to a better handling set up, and we should have a very fun fast car.

their is a reason why all race cars have them and its because they work if you go to btcc all bmw have them and they do not look bad...

Merc and Audi in different racing class also have them......

how come you longitudinally mounted the engine? i thought the 3s-ge was a transverse engine since it was in a mr2/celica?

sorry, educate me, i don't know too much about these things.

yes you are correct but it also came in the toyota Altezza (lexus IS300 in the U.S.) the engine is a 3s-GE engine with a Yamaha Head called Beams engine.. its a 2.0L engine 210hp with a 6 speed transmission rear wheel drive..

but also remember this is a full race car and i'm also using a 6 speed sequential racing transmission so even if it did not come as an original rear wheel drive one could always modify to make it happen
