I would love to take it out for a spin, and as for the dark blue one..I would quite happily have that in my fleet, if I had a fleet!

The only thing that grates with me on the dark blue one is the extra lamp pods.

Remove those as it's a pretty cool Spitfire.

[Pericoloso]

What engine is in the bottom one ?....,looks mahoosive.

[ManOpener]

Possibly a 1/2JZ or RB25 at a guess? Looks Japanese and straight sixish to me though the angle makes it quite hard to tell.

-EDIT

Apparently a 2.3 Mustang SVO I4

How to make a great car look like a ropey MR2 with a body kit.

[Fermit The Krog and Sexy Sarah]

An interesting spelling of concours, and an even more interesting interpretation of the word!

Concours should mean that not only all is in excellent condition but that it is restored accurately, or as close to the way the original maker intended as possible. You could hardly call that thing worthy of that tag!

Evidence of the damage it causes to the brain when parents shake their babies.

Nice! I wonder how many extra down forces....

Bargain at that price, a wing like that would cost a couple of million to develop in F1

Blame CarThrottle.... They started it!

Great content on YouTube, ste tatty crap in their e-store.

I quite like the stance of it, lose the wing and paint it one colour and it would look good IMO.

I agree, with the caveat that it had a more meaty engine transplant. Something to justify the muscular stance. Standard it would be like a menacing Rottie bounding over to you to then let out a Yorkie yap.

Is that meant to be a joke? Carthrottle is fking cancer. And that giant penis called Alex needs his face stoving in with a skillet.

Well, some, of the content is great....

Some, like the xtype "build" is utter tripe.

M3 on eBay, “needs some work” apparently....

[Pericoloso]

LOL at the M3 above ,I looked at the Ebay listing ,so much fail.

30K for that ?

Pic showing the original colour from factory ,Diamond Schwartz ,black ,so not original then.

Seems the engine isn't original either ,so not the magic "matching numbers".

Best thing to do with that is turn it into a race car.

Would likely look a lot better with the removal of that crash bumper!

Not a good idea. When you step on the gas the chassis twists, it steps sideways and you crash

[dxbtiger]

There are many questionable 'mods' on cars here, this one stood out however
