i have a few tricks up my sleeve after a resounding last in the @thecarlover 's challenge
So must we still continue to rely on estimated prices when judging affordability and value for money? Especially when anything which takes longer to engineer can be used with no discernible penalty.
Have some patience. Youâll see how it all works when I publish the rules tomorrow.
well if you havenât found any host, i volunteer as tribute
Strop is going to be hosting this next round as he was 2nd place from the previous one.
Hopefully itâll be something that reveals what Iâm good at. Seems I suck at building practical cars, and Iâm terrible at building fun cars, so weâll see what it turns out to be.
if you asked me, the challenge would be rwd coupes
BUT WE DIDNâT, DID WE!?!?!?!?!
The last all-RWD round allowed us to submit cars with four doors as well.
Iâm still in the process of writing the rules. Theyâre a lot more complicated-looking in text than they were in my head. Iâm going to have to generate a graph of the competing criteria instead.
awh gawd. iâm not sure what to feel
There is still scope to build a âreasonable carâ in this challenge.
But you better get your inspired design hat on.
So what exactly will you ask us to build this time?
There is no âexactlyâ. There was never an exactly, which is pretty much the entire point of this entire activity.
But there isnât necessarliy even an âalmostâ or âapproximateâ. You will have much more freedom in many ways.
please tell me youâre not doing a meme based challengeâŚ
(for some reason, thatâs the first one that popped out in my mind.)
So each person will be able to build something to their strengths?
I wouldnât necessarily call the playing field that even. Our next buyer has obvious tastes. His priorities are just quite esoteric.
It could be that our submissions must all come from left field, with unconventional requirements.
Oooh!, this could be good for my experiments
#Round Seventeen: A Client of Esoteric Priorities
Many thanks to @Dragawn for passing on his win, making this possible. Be warned, this round will be full of tensions and conflicting demands. The tl;dr version is, youâre not building to a specific budget, your budget will depend on which approach you choose to take. But I highly recommend you read the whole thing, because everything gives you an insight into why the challenge works the way it does.
##The year is:
2017
##Who am I:
Kai Kristensen, Gryphon Gearâs semi-tame racing driver
Thank you @Cen for this apt illustration
Kaiâs had an interesting route into motorsports and the job he holds now. His original career path was to be a small-time auto mechanic, a job handed down through the generations of his family. It wasnât something he was overwhelmingly passionate about, but he did have an affinity for cars and it was good enough to be content and pursue his occasional go-karting and falkrace activities, where he could really cut loose, as a hobby.
But life happened, one thing led to the next and he was offered an unusual opportunity: one that allowed him a shot at his actual dream of racing properly fast touring cars, and one that allowed him to escape his adolescent bruises and particularly the untimely death of his father. Unfortunately, personality clashes and personal demons were too much to lump on a boy not even out of his teens, especially halfway across the world by himself (at his insistence). Barely a year later, and he was down and out, with no contract, no seat, and no prospects. He took on a number of apprentice mechanic positions in a bid to avoid ending up on the streets, or worse, fleeing back home, but it was an increasingly losing battle and his dream looked set to evaporate. As frustration mounted, Kai accrued a string of increasingly serious driving-related offences, culminating in stealing cars from the already illegal street racing scene, and finally being arrested after a high speed road race scuttled his ride, resulting in loss of license and a suspended sentence.
Thatâs where Gryphon Gear came in: on a whim and a prayer. The terms of his employment were made up on the fly, and his arrival caused massive divisions within their small team. There was no infrastructure or plans to manage a race driver but they did need somebody to properly test the limits of the cars they were intent on building. Having to learn how to manage the logistics of a professional driver between them was an additional nightmare and the first twelve months were very rough, but against all odds and fuelled by risk and desperation, they persisted and after a few years the dividends started properly paying out, with a runner up placing in the Automation Touring Car Challenge, and most recently winning the driver championship in the Automation Motorsport World Endurance Challenge, thus playing a vital role in securing Gryphon Gearâs future as a motorsport force.
This all sounds well and good, and for the most part, it is. For its rapid growth and explosion onto the scene, GG hasnât quite ironed out all the various personal creases, because theyâre all eccentric and obsessive people, and Kai in particular hurtled headlong into life that he was nowhere near ready for without pause to stop and find out who he was. He doesnât give himself enough credit for the life skills that he actually has (the guy can cook, plus heâs very tidy, even if his wardrobe lies somewhere along the lines of âwhy does anybody care about this stuff?â), so his team has taken it upon themselves to meddle with various aspects of his daily life, in some form of hands-on management, but this is still very much in a state of flux. And thatâs the backdrop on which this rather strange challenge stands.
##Whatâs The Story:
For a couple of years now, Kai has been living in a modest but solid apartment north of Melbourne, which is nowhere near as sparsely furnished as his original shitbox slum flat (because his friends at GG took it upon themselves to furnish the apartment for him). This apartment is technically owned by the company, seeing as head of legal, Dan, effectively manages Kaiâs finances. The main feature is that he gets a big double garage which is secure. The main limitation is that itâs only a double garage, which is fully occupied. There has been some preliminary talk of expanding this, but the relatively ascetic Kai has not found the motivation to proceed with such a thing, plus, it would have to be off location which defeats the entire purpose of having the garage at his apartment anyway.
The cars in Kaiâs garage could scarcely be more different:
- MY2012 Ascension Mephisto (model number 01 of 58).
The ultimate coupe and symbol of GGâs early âless engineering, more brute forceâ days. A street-legal certified 2000bhp powering all four oversized wheels, taking it from 0-100 in 2.5s, 0-200 in about 5.1s, 0-300s and the quarter mile in 8 seconds and onto a top speed of over 438km/h. With a fixed GT style double wing and vaned splitter, it generated ridiculous amounts of downforce and corners like a race car. Starting price of 2.25M dollars, but this one was gifted to Kai for his work and for passing the rocky probationary period in the face of a tense and hostile campaign. Kai is in actual love with this car, but is heartbroken that itâs proving much more difficult to manage than it is worth to drive it more than once a fortnight. The other problem is that right now, Kaiâs love life is on the rocks (he broke up with his antipodean girlfriend a couple of years back because they couldnât make long distance work, and ever since, heâs not been particularly inspired). Why does oneâs love life matter when it comes to cars? Because now that heâs unoccupied, heâd like nothing more than to pop the hood of a car and have a tinker with it. Itâs like some kind of bonding thing. But Mephistoâs internal workings are far too airtight to do such a thing without using the laser-guided machines with the special car jacks and dismantling the entire engine bay which necessitates a trip to GGâs factory every couple of times he gives it a righteous thrashing like he should. GG kind of didnât think about any of that when they put the car together.
- MY2001 Toyota Corolla Ascent hatchback, manual.
Nicknamed âToothlessâ for several reasons. The ultimate not sports car and one of the most common cars you could ever find in Australia ever. 1.8L i4 now pumping out probably quite a bit less than 100bhp powering the front wheels to get it to 100 in a blistering 11 seconds on a good day. If youâre wondering why this is even in Kaiâs garage, itâs because itâs one of the most daily of daily drives you can get, and with a fuel economy of 7.7L/100km (when new), running 91RON instead of 98RON, and being a rare personal purchase of his at around 2700 Australian buckaroos, having a proper boot and being able to go on road trips and have the radio on (the Mephisto is quite⌠spartan), itâs just more practical. Plus, the engine bay isnât so cramped that when bored, Kai can pop the hood and have a tinker, maybe add a crossbrace and swap the shocks, tune the motor, swap some internals⌠you get the idea. The other problem is that it looks pretty plain. And when something looks plain, Kai is tempted to douche it up. In this case, he was tempted to paint really shitty flame decals coming from the front wheels. And when he is tempted to do something, he just goes and does it, really. So it looks something like this:
All Hail MS Paint Airbrush tool!
To complicate matters, the crew at GG are quite fond of meddling in each otherâs affairs. They hijacked Stropâs Civic and turned it into a tricked out racer and that turned out really well (not). They donât touch Danâs Porsche 993 911 GT2 because Danâs scary and knows things about their pay entitlements that they donât, and they donât touch Hannahâs van because a) her husband Boden doesnât fit in anything else b) the vanâs vital for their work c) whoever vandalises the van will have three claw-sized holes punched through their crotch. As for Kai however, the consensus is that the Corollaâs been too douched out and needs to go. Kaiâs not sure how he feels about this, because at least itâs a daily and the car can be kind of fun because driving at the limit is fun, and when your carâs limits are very low, you donât have leave the city to do it. But MephistoâŚ
###Your task is to sell Kai a car that will replace either one of the cars in his garage that those nosey parkers at GG approve of enough that they donât interfere. If Toothless goes, it has to be replaced with a car that can serve as a daily but looks and drives well enough that it wonât be vandalised in the same manner. If Mephisto goes, itâll become a lot easier to replace Toothless, but will need to be a car surpassing Mephisto in presence, menace, and sheer driving prowess.
###The basic rules are as follows:
- Stable build or open beta. Please let me know which build your car comes from.
- No restriction to body, but youâre going to want to use a car, not a van, truck etc. Just saying
- No restriction to number of seats, but in general, Kai doesnât actually need more than 2, and definitely doesnât want more than 5
- Tech year is anything up to and including 2017
- Model and Trim year, and Engine and Family year do not have to match. If your car is unique or a restomod, additional appreciation, difficulty and costs with maintenance and upkeep will be duly noted, thus giving you a slight disadvantage against stock production models
- Engine noise level must be <50
- Fuel type can be up to 98RON, but a daily car should use either 91RON or 95RON.
- I wonât say strictly no automatics, but yeah, thatâs one way to quickly get cut.
- No semi-slicks on the daily. It is not a summer or track car. If you want to replace the hypercar, well, you can, but we still prefer sports tyres
- Total emissions must be <300
- Safety must be at least 40.0
- For anything other than an all-out Mephisto replacing race car, really should have at least standard entertainment, or, for older models, at least a decent FM radio
- Screw the factory settings, theyâre not working. PM me how many models a year youâll build, and the asking price.
- No naming convention required as long as it doesnât just say âCar Model 1â.
###Values are considered subjectively along a spectrum from Toothless to Mephisto:
- Engineering time and production units, the composite of which will be called âtinkerabilityâ.
- Comfort (the more daily the car, the higher it should be. Toothless is around 35, Mephisto is more like 12)
- Fuel economy. Toothless gets about 8L/100km, Mephisto is more like 20.
- Running costs. For more explanation see below.
- Sportiness, or âfun factorâ. If replacing Toothless this value does not matter that much, but more is still better. If trying to beat Mephisto, you better shoot for at least 75.
- Drivability, not that important as Kai is a professional race driver, but anything less than 20 is patently unsuitable to daily
###Hereâs a few hints, all very important:
- Design is important. Regardless of where the car lies on the spectrum from eco-box to hypercar, it has to have a certain sex appeal. Kai has a slightly esoteric taste when it comes to âsex appealâ but letâs just say first impressions count. Kai wants something that pops right out, that has drama, a visceral punch that makes his loins feel funny and his face flush and suddenly need some time alone. Have a look at Appendix C to see what works and what doesnât across all classes.
That is to say, we must transcend from âform follows functionâ, to âform evokes visionâ. All this language is pretty intuitive and emotion driven. I hope that by now you have well realised that Kai is not a rational person, he is driven by impulses. To be absolutely clear, Iâm not asking you to chuck a hundred thousand fixtures on the car. The lines they convey and the impression they give as a whole is the most important thing. You may have to go out of your way to use an unusual body or break the bodyâs natural line to achieve something stunning. Imagine the car as a person. If you feel a sudden desire to make passionate love to it, youâre hopefully on the right track. Hell, you donât have to imagine the car is a person. You could just want to have sex with the car itself. Or any other animate or inanimate being/object. I wonât judge. Just donât put sugar in the tank, thatâs bad for the car
Because if you deliver something too plain, Kai will vandalise it. Strop can gauge how likely this is with great accuracy, and the rest of the team will be dissuaded from supporting the purchase.
-
Youâll have a much easier time replacing Toothless than you will the Mephisto. Unless you want to try beating GG at their own game, and I know some of you will.
-
Budget is conditionally unlimited. If the GG crew approve of the car, theyâll pay for it, and this effectively means there is no budget. If they donât and Kai wants it, Kai will pay for it. Kaiâs discretionary income is limited by the fact most of his money is currently, stemming from an agreement Kai made with Dan when first entering the company. This agreement is being progressively relaxed, but Kaiâs still not quite solvent enough to afford a hypercar or a supercar with his own cash (letâs say he only has 50k to spend, and heâs going to be quite loath to blow much of it, so I do not suggest you deliberately attempt this route), unless itâs going to make him so happy (or unhappy if he canât get it) that the guys at GG have no choice but to relent. Youâd think we were matchmaking for Kaiâs life partner or something, and GG are all the prospective in-laws.
For cars that Kai doesnât immediately swoon over, the markup value will be an additional key factor in how likely he is to âdouche it upâ (lower values are bad). So if you go too cheap, youâll end up with just another Toothless, which is GGâs idea of a worst case scenario.
-
Must look good in red, black, or grey. Exact hue at your discretion. Use any other colour at your own risk. Iâm not saying that Kai wouldnât drive around in a lime green car, itâs just, it better make a damn good case for being that colour.
-
Kai is unfairly biased against American cars, particularly American luxobarges and muscle cars. None of @KLinardoâs favourites need apply. Youâre welcome to submit an FR sports sedan or coupe, of course, but they better be light, nimble and a joy to drive. Youâre also welcome to submit cars from the USA, but they better have independent suspension and not be overweight.
-
Too much space is a waste. Kai also doesnât have much use for a van, people mover, flatbed truck, or five seats. Two seats is currently enough, and stuff he brings with him on any trip could really fit in the footwell of the passenger seat, so heâs not even that fussed about having a boot/trunk. Also, he lives in Melbourne, and Melbourne has some smaller than average streets, so again, anything larger than a medium family sedan will be a burden unless your excuse is âsorry, but I had to fit this 10L v12 that makes this car faster than Mephistoâ. Did I mention that even without active aero, passive suspension and only a geared diff, the 2012 Mephistoâs easily good for 6:46 on Green Hell?
-
Tinkerability. The ability to tinker with the car is a huge plus for reasons described above. The importance of this is inversely proportional to how likely it is the car will be more than a match for Mephisto, but thatâs a very big gamble. Iâll be using a composite of engineering time and production units to determine just how âtinkerableâ a car is. The engineering times for Toothless is about 96 for the engine and 185 for the entire car, and it takes up about 90 production units (which is tiny). On Toothless, Kai can modify whatever the hell he wants from the confines of his garage. The engineering times for Mephisto are closer to 1000 for the engine and 1900 for the entire car, and it takes about 500 production units. Without going to GGâs factory, Kai can polish the fixtures, tighten a few nuts and bolts on the turbo manifold, change the air filters and change the fluid for the wipers, air conditioning, intercooler and the oil, and thatâs it, unless he wants to mangle his fingers trying.
What this means is that effectively, the higher the engineering times and production units are for the car and engine, the less Kai can tinker with it using his own generic tools in his own garage. If youâre going above, say, 300 and 600 for engine and car respectively and/or more than 250 production units overall, Kaiâs going to be dissatisfied with the amount of tinkering he can do, and it better be a damn fun car to drive on a daily basis to make up for it. Conversely, if you make a wholly analog car, thatâs great for the purist experience but it does need to be not totally shithouse. In addition to the number, Iâll be paying attention to each and every one of your design choices to see which parts will be the hardest to fiddle with, since, for example, having 600 units engineering time because your active aero is set to +15 is not a problem because the only disadvantage from that is not being able to change the wing manually, and thatâs only important at non-daily-driving levels. But having a downforce tray set to +15 is going to make a difference, because that means itâll be impossible to remove from underneath the car, which restricts self-maintenance.
The amount of space one has left in the car engine bay (signified by whether the arrows for the engine dimensions are turning yellow or orange) is a present, but very minor consideration since we donât get to choose the placement of the engine and this unfairly penalises FF format cars with MacPherson struts.
A comprehensive list of what affects and does not affect âtinkerabilityâ will follow as appendix A.
-
Running costs do matter somewhat. While GG is probably paying for the car, theyâre not paying for upkeep. Tinkering is free. Fuel, insurance, tyres and replacement parts are not. Make sure the car is not more expensive to keep than it is a joy to drive and look at. (For reference, a cheap car might have running costs of 1100-1700 or so depending on age, and a hypercar anywhere from 5000 onwards). Obviously the higher the costs the less daily-able it is, unless it is just that good to drive.
-
A reminder that you are allowed to use any model/trim/family/variant year up to and including 2017. They donât have to match. Restomods with old bodies and new engines etc. are welcome, but note that the car still has to be up to road legal purposes because thereâs restrictions when your car has to be registered under a club or historical permit because itâs horribly toxic, a death trap or whatever.
###APPENDIX A: Engineering choices and their effect on âtinkerabilityâ
For the most part the degree is reflected by the tool-tip on engineering time, but there are a number of differences as Kai is a mechanic, not a panel-beater or software engineer.
- Body: none
- Chassis frame: none
- Chassis material: negligible
- Chassis layout: significant for access. Front and rear are easiest. Mid transverse is slightly hard. Mid long is harder again (note this does affect running costs and engineering times hence how it works.)
- Suspension type: significant
- Panel material: negligible except extreme caution in using fiberglass, it is very liable to damage and Kai is no fabricator.
- Drivetrain layout: moderately significant
- Engine bottom and top end material, cylinders and format: negligible
- Bore and stroke: slightly significant depending on how tight the fit in the engine bay is
- Valve train type and layout: slightly to moderately significant, depending on tech level
- Cam setup: none
- Turbo: see 9.
- Fuel injection: slightly significant depending on tech level
- Exhaust: negligible unless using race tubular, which takes up a lot of room and hampers access
- Gearbox: significant. manual is easier to tinker with, but has to be wholly analog. Kai is less likely to go so far as to strip the gearbox casing and tinker with the gears, as thatâs a lot of work. The clutch is fair game.
- LSD: significant, electric LSDs canât be tinkered with
- Wheels: none, only significant in running costs.
- Brakes: none, as long as the wheels come off, the brakes are easy
- Undertray: significant, depending on tech level. The higher it is, the trickier it is to remove. Also, downforce > fully clad >> semi clad
- Active wing: none
- cooling flaps: none
- Interior: none
- Suspension: The more active components, the less tinkerable it is. Active sports/comfort suspension canât be touched outside a shop.
###APPENDIX B: Flowchart and spectrum of considerations
Once your car is certified legal according to the rules, refer to this flowchart. If you are not familiar with them, you may wish to look up what a ânomogramâ is.
###APPENDIX C: List of real life cars by sector and Kaiâs views on them
####Hot Hatch
Looks: Quite handsomely aggressive
Performs: Quite enough poke for something of this class
Likes: Decent va-va-voom for something thatâs mostly liveable
Irks: Hot hatches are becoming really over-engineered, and what the heck is this drift mode for plebs???
Looks: Itâs ok I guess
Performs: Eager and tight. Good for some fun, but not quite as good considering itâs a bit harsh on the road.
Likes: Best balance of handling and drivability across different conditions in a hot hatch
Irks: No major ones really
Looks: Nope.
âŚand thatâs as far as we got, which is a shame, because Strop quite likes it
####Compact Sports
Looks: It looks like a bug.
Performs: Lacking on the straights, makes up for it in the corners. Great Ocean Road here we come!
Likes: It may be mid-engine but I can get into that engine bay no problem!
Irks: I canât hear the tunes over ALL THE REST OF THE NOISE, is there even a radio??? Also damn, why are the costs and upkeep so out of proportion with the performance? Not as convincing in red, black or grey as it does in this gaudy shade of yellow. Do you know where I come from, we have a game where we punch each other if we see a yellow car?
Looks: The NA, NB and NCâs younger, sexier sibling. A good thing because the older ones are a bit too cutesy to take seriously
Performs: It was never really about performance so much as the experience. At least Iâm less likely to lose my license again.
Likes: A tinkererâs dream. Revives the road trip dream
Irks: As always the temptation to give it a lot more donk is strong, which means the GG guys might steal it, but if they do that Iâll just sulk and refuse to drive for the rest of the year.
Looks: The concept was cooler The rear end is underwhelming. This car was built to mod. Chop, drop, stance and giant wings. And decals. Fire decals.
At this point GG decides it wouldnât pay for the car if Kaiâs going to do that due to ensuing douchebaggery. However, in this case, Kai can afford the car, and due to its immense tinkerability and liveability, just might buy it, so it would remain in contention.
####JDM Tuner
Looks: Bubble butt! Who doesnât love a bubble butt⌠car?
Performance: For 1994, pretty good
Likes: Itâs sexy. Itâs sporty. Itâs still plenty liveable.
Irks: Not sure how to twiddle with a rotary, but thatâs not going to stop me! Almost impossible to get these certified and road legal. Actually impossible to find one stock. I will see your douche and raise you my own!
Looks: ooooooooooh
Performance: these were all subject to the Gentlemanâs agreement, so itâs slowness is not really that relevant
Likes: Who doesnât love a liveable supercar? It has automatic climate control and a proper sound system! Not that I need that, but still, itâs cool.
Irks: Awfully expensive for what you actually get once you strip off the legend. Getting into the engine bay is harder than advertised, but still remains remarkably âtinkerableâ.
Looks: The proportions, check. the rear light array, check. The front⌠looks derpface.
Performance: just give me another 30 hours undoing the mess in this engine bay the last owner left and Iâll get back to you. OH GOD THIS THING IS A PIG IN THE CORNERS brb overhauling the suspension
Likes: Controversial! Ridiculous! Turbo! Unicorn levels of rare! A tinkererâs dream/nightmare!
Irks: Spends more time in the garage with bits hanging out of it, therefore an investment before it becomes a daily. Replacement parts for some of the more involved internals are also unicorn levels of rare.
Looks: A bit too derpface. A nose and overhang longer than Stropâs face looks ridiculo- OW!
Review aborted
####Classic/Legends
Looks: Needs more monocle to go with my three piece and top hat. My grandad would love it. If driving around in fancy cars looking to pick up actually worked, I could do it in this car.
Performance: Who gives a fuck? THE DOORS OPEN UPWARDS.
Likes: Everything except the headlights. TIL that Kai does not like bug-eyed headlights.
Irks: Would need a club permit to drive. Impossible to daily these days. Iâll overlook the fact itâs a Mercedes.
Looks: This makes me wish all cars were purpose-built homologations for rally, and I hate rallying.
Performance: Am I even allowed to drive this on the road?
Looks: I know this was voted the worldâs most beautiful car and all, but donât you see how at certain angles it has a terrible case of duckface?
I said earlier that there was no specified budget. I was mistaken. Valued at over 20M AUD, this car is most certainly out of range of anything GG would fork out.
Looks: Itâs quite good. Does look a bit shocked though. For an American Muscle, itâs quite⌠acceptable (not least because it has an English chassis that weighs a fraction of the American ones).
Performance: Itâs a total death trap, I love it. That Ford block is wasted elsewhere.
####European Sports
Looks: Itâs not the most exciting, but itâs far from the worst Iâve seen. M2 is a better size for Australian roads than M4
Performance: Brisk and tidy. Iâm not a huge fan of BMW but this is very workable, as long as Iâm not paying for the initial purchase
Likes: Easy to live with and drive as a daily, easy to put the foot down
Irks: Servicing definitely on the expensive side in Australia, fancy engine engineering is fancy, tinkering with it will void the warranty.
Looks: Unique, yes⌠but I was never a huge fan of the 911.
Performance: Quite good, but enough to justify the hype? GG adds: and the price?
Likes: A good driverâs car. Only rear-engined sports car thatâs made it this far.
Irks: Porsche started out with a crazy formula and then spent the next several decades gradually compromising it. A bit of a turnoff.
Looks: Nice, but for the spooked headlights (that old chestnut). Kai likes the Zender version bodywork better
Performance: Itâs fun, but why is this slower than all the hot hatches we looked at earlier???
Likes etc.: See the Elise, above.
####Supercar
Looks: More like a super slug. Boring.
Kai loses interest .
Looks: This needs spicing up. Heâs going to paint flames and dragon wings on the roof. The object lesson is, donât make the car boring looking. If itâs boring enough, no amount of supercar will save it.
Performance: Feels every bit that it is fast
Likes: As an analog modern supercar, this combines both great tinkerability and performance
Irks: Tinkering with the car is all well and good but not if itâs because the internals shredded themselves while driving normally!!!
Looks: Some say itâs not actually a supercar, but it definitely looks the part!
Performance: Some wax lyrical about how itâs unreal fast, but part of this is because itâs a bit of a bus to begin with.
Likes: AWD means itâs a traffic light warrior
Irks: Like piloting a modern fighter jet- so much electronics I can hardly tinker anything. Not that civilised as a daily. Using cheap substitutes in your engineering results in expensive replacements in your maintenance.
####Hypercar
Looks: Most of it is a work of art. The rear, however, less so.
Performance: Itâs a hypercar. These are the models GG aspires to beat.
Likes: It can almost keep up with a GG car. Itâs somehow still street legal.
Irks: Definitely canât tinker with this one at all. Also canât even own this one because not a loyal Ferrari customer.
Looks: The front end looks derp. The rear end⌠if I could find the exhaust outlets I would probably burn my dick. This does not sound like a good thing, but trust me, it is.
Performance: Iâm told that it was awesome.
Irks: Canât buy this one, shame.
####Racecar
Looks: Can we get more LED lights on everything ever? Iâll even wear one of those Tron suits!
