Just emailed a buddy of mine...

"Have you ever seen this car? Know anything about it?

- Gary R."

"Yep! He is out of Atlanta. Car has a lot of power but never had the handling quite right. He is the guy who developed those coolshirts that use a can of freon through a bunch of capillary tubes. Can't remember his name right off hand?

todd"

Not much of a help, I know, but it's a start if you're serious.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice! *** that looks sexy!!

I want more pics, but wouldn't those wide tires up front, sacrifice handling? I mean you don't see Vettes and Vipers with 335's up front, only 275 or so at the most, same with ferraris and Lambos. I don't know that's why I am asking.

Ehhhhhh, no, it doesn't sacrifice handling. You run the widest tire you can put to good use. Big Red uses 335's on all four corners.

more tread patch area you can lay to the ground, the faster you can run around a corner without slipping.

looks like it needs stiffer rear springs to keep those front tires down flat.... lots stiffer.

depending on how the front geometry is setup - yes it could be sacrificing handling - at lower mph like 10! after he gets going like that though, he should be fine. Probably a TON of feedback to the wheel though.

Motion Glass in Baldwin New York makes a wide body kit that looks just like that one. Last I knew they were around $1300.
