How to make a 914 a brick in the road,as you would drive past them on the track,your car was pushed away by the turbulence around the nose.
At no time was a wind guy consulted,you know,like at Porsche,where winning hung on the smallest advantages. Signal light delete and door skin addition. Barn door,as molded from a sheet of 3/8" plywood,the width of the car and the height of the bumper nose. The only resemblance to any Porsche that I've ever seen is that of the 934/935. The difference is not subtle,and was misinterpreted and molded. https://www.google.ca/search?q=porsche+934&...p;q=porsche+935 A major overhaul of the grp panels to allow the air a smoother path,reducing induced drag,looks ok too. The way he sloped the windscreen makes all the difference,the hard way to a 3" chop. Cutting out the entire windshield surround and repositioning the entire assembly forward then leaning back results in a far more sophisticated appearance. A close look at the front corner of the car reveals an attempt to make a smooth transition to the rear,with a curved surface. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) With identical power,which car would be fastest,in your opinion? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International...ce_of_Champions A mold taken off the car might make a few customers seeking a variety of choice. Who knows?A few bucks spent on an estimate of buyers opinions is what the auto business is all about. The development of the side features is what sets this car apart,some attempt made at unique look,and also resembling some high end GTs. Some others,while not obvious verbatim copies,have been crudely done with little skill. A Testarossa by Pininfarina has some talent applied,which is why it looks good,tho extreme,to this day. |
