At this point is not even a Lexus RCF anymore, besides the outside shell

It's a lot less impressive when you know what's inside it http://www.prolineracing.net/blogs/e...2-481x-4000-hp . But yeah you can accomplish wonders with lots of time and money!

I sort of agree. Even the shell is of course not of an RC F. Just some shapes. Ok, the logo in the back right is of an RC F.

No disrespect here, I am sure they worked hard and it is impressive. But for me, it might as well be a Chevy Impala.

C'mon, calling people that give a respectful different opinion a hater is not being fair here. I think that handbuilding a rig from the ground up is an impressive feat. They got great performance and they have a right to be proud. But if I brought a friend to that track and showed them this and thumped my chest and said "see what an RC F can do", they would look funny at me. From what I can tell, and I am by no means informed about what is under that cowl, I don't see much mechanical similarity.

Cool? YES. An RC F? Hmm.

IMO, I don't think there was any chest thumping or insinuation to "What an RCF can do".

It was merely a fun post of a "funny car". Let's lighten up folks!
