Default What do you think of this wide body RC F?


It'll probably come as a surprise to no one that this car was built for the SEMA show, which makes it kind of remarkable that there are no exposed rivets anywhere. Personally, I think that trend has worn out its welcome, and love the smooth lines here. I don't care for the camber at the rear wheels, but I like everything else going on here. How about you? There are more pics on the HP.

I guess it'd be good to just look at though it's not necessarily MY taste & it Definitely isn't driveable on the street, so I guess it's Strictly for racing!

The big wing is not necessary although they will not sell the kit without it. I went a different route with my build because the big wing would not fit my style. There is no changes to the driveability as I drive mine all the time. As for the wide body wearing out is welcome, I would have to disagree or then everyone is entitled to their own opinions but I will have to say that not a day goes by when people compliment, take pics, break necks or weave in and out of traffic just to catch up to you. It's an awesome feeling.

You can actually get the full kit without the wing directly through greddy

It looks very cool. I think the op was meaning the exposed rivets falling out of style. The clean smooth filled in gaps.

All these cars handle worse than jettas. Air bags suck. Defeats the entire purpose of f. I'd be embarrassed to be seen in one.

This. You can also piecemeal ordering parts as well. I have heard the aero isn't very good at higher speeds and has to be installed/calibrated carefully. If you are all for just show/looks and don't care about performance, this is your route. I personally like the look but wouldn't purchase it. Not a fan of the wing, personally. Kit sans wing would be my choice.

I tried on three different occasions to buy the kit without the wing and Greddy would not do it. They told me I would need to order piece by piece which I would have to pay shipping on each item separately. Unless they changed it which is possible. As for some of the other comments made about driveability, unless you plan on racing at Sebring or are truly into the auto-x thing and can tell the difference, there is really nothing affected by the wide body kit. I have opened my car up on the highways at 120 mph and it feels like I'm doing 50. It feels great. Then again i also have my suspending dialed in. Anyways, I only comment on things I know from experience and not from what i have heard.

SInisteRCF's car is hands down better and in my opinion the best looking wide bodies I have seen.His car should have been featured instead of this..

Thanks Lexura, I appreciate that. I'm just trying to make a point that there really is not much difference wide bodied or not and I apologize to the op. I was not trying to hijack your thread.
