RE: Mantide To Tackle 'Vette ZR1 At The 'Ring?

[Rotary Madness]

If goes like a bat of of hell then ill accept the looks, as its function over form. Otherwise burn it.

I do think its the wrong colour which doesnt really help its looks. I bet it would look much better in black/matt black

Lets hope the car does not get out of shape going into a fast corner and hit a crash barrier at the ring, then again would anyone care?

Could be problematic - how would the marshal be able to tell what was the crash barrier and what was the car?

I thought it had already hit a barrier,


Its definatly different, I wouldn't mind one, your not exactly going to see many others.

The last time I seen anything as ugly as that I was just about to flush.

I have to say I agree, the engineering behind it sounds awesome, your colour choice is spot although the designers probably figured that it was a piece of Armco (as per the general thoughts of people)

[RedYellowGreen]

I think it looks awesome myself but mantide? Sounds like the title of a gay porno.

" castriota " needs castrating .

The design Is too busy. Its a bit like the Nissan Rx8, although the RX8 differs in that it has the "design by committee" look. But both have to much crap going on...that nose is Horrible, the Citroen and Aston 77 both have the same, and good, nose design

[UncappedTag]

I could draw a better design with am Etch-O-Sketch

i see yet again phers are slating designers :-) least the guy is able to fund a project and be different

The Manflu looks a bit like an insect, a large cricket possibly, but I've never seen a good-looking insect. May be irrelevant (no, not an elephant...) if it drives well and has good visibility, it's still different enough to drop jaws, whether for the right or wrong reason.

Why are people still referring to the ZR1 as the benchmark for the ring? There are a few cars that are quicker round the ring now, two in particular that this wont touch.

I think only because it's based on the ZR1 so it will be interesting to see if it's faster than the real thing.

Nissan did, then the ZR-1 beat that time.

I'm not sure whether interesting is the right word....
