Dropped my son off at my parents house for the day and my mom greated me with this.

She picked it up at our dump where we have a "swap shop" that people leave stuff that is basically tag sale leftovers. Granted it's free, and the chassis works great, but DAMN that is an ugly car. Any one know what it is?

I really think it's supposed to be a NSX. Although, it couldn't be more from it.

That's just silly looking. I think it's supposed to be like a McLaren or some similar generic GT1 car.

Notice the RX-7 wing? :???:

Naw, it has a "real" clone chassis that works great for Jmays' VW single cab due to the rear weel base being slightly smaller and able to easily fit that rear wheel well. So none of you guys have seen one of these POSes before? I remember them on e-bay way back when Bitchar-G first came out.

See the funny thing is I look at this ugly ass body and actually think about making it not only look better, but possibly make it look bad ass. It's like the cool guys in a teen flick making the "ugly" girl w/ glasses into a totally fuckable chick. We'll see, I have enough projects going on at this time...

Actually it kind of looks like a Celica, with the biggest body kit I've ever seen on a bit. lol, Anyway thats what I think it is, but It might be a McClaren or something else.
:cool:

Mclaren. I'm 96% sure of it. That is the same company I bought that Porsche I recently modded. It sure is ugly, but so was the Porsche.

I say replace of the RX-7 wing with something better and add a body kit. Then get some good paint on it. My porsche worked out well, and there are very few people pimpin those rides out. I don't like pimpin out a ride that everybody else is pimpin. I see that car and then I see untapped potential. In fact I don't recall anybody pimpin out one of those. There are three or four cars with that style to it.

Same body lines on the side, same roof scoop and split rear window.
