hing circles to shame. 
Not many boy racers cars out there that will do 0-60 is 2.5s. These type of cars are huge fun and are serious performance cars, just look at the times they are setting in TA on road tyres at the moment, they make the GroupB cars look positively asthmatic with the modern electronics and twin scroll roller bearing turbos.
Simon's new car is pretty interesting, retaining the EVO engine but mounting it longitudinally with a Hollinger race box and Skyline front diff setup, once sorted it should be rather a quick bit of kit.

Has he tested to see if the devices are necessary? I don't doubt how quick it accelerates etc, to me its seems like alot of devices that are stuck on for no apparent reason. I have done alot of research and work on the optimum race setup in windtunnels on prototypes which bring out extraordinary results.

I seems like all the concentration has been put on the front for grip, to me the rear wing looks like it is a bought one from demon tweeks and has a fairly flat NACA profile. It'll create more drag than downforce and slow the car up.

Odd I missed the 90deg switch.
But I agree with the comments on cheap and easy slap a blower on baby engines - not a fan myself.
But at least these things can't actuall RACE in any real series - alot of cash spent for some Track fun.
But the Chavtastic Bling Boy customers will must likely lap up this stuff.
