kiss_kiss_kill

....& the tails, & the body.

Does that mean my tC's not a tC anymore?

Elijahtc

ha ha that body is so changed it doesn't even look like a tC. ha ha And the roof isn't a tC roof, it is carbon fiber ha ha. Is the engine even a 2AZ-FE? ha ha

yamaha16bw

Funny....looks like a Widebody tC with a custom front bumper.

Remember its a RACE car.....lol.... Why leave the heavy glass roof in a race car? I'd put in a cf roof too.....but its still a tC.

Yes its still a 2AZ.

dodaddy

wheres the rear bumper..?

draxcaliber

the rear bumper is there, but they cut alot of it away, probably has to do with drag, aerodynamics and underbody turbulance.

from what i understand about aerodynamics and high speed driving, cars should be more tear shaped, and the rear of the car should be higher than the rear of the car, then, as air moves under the car, it gets trapped in the wheel wells and behind the rear bumpers creating pressure and drag and holds the car back at higher speeds, so you want slats or vents to relieve the pressure so that it doesn't hold the car back.

or it could be because they don't have exhuast back there and maybe wanna be able to get at the rear suspension alot easier without all that bumper in the way.

lol @ all the ppl making fun of the wing and splitter...

Its a RACE car...
for racing.

who gives a F what it looks like.

draxcaliber

if it isn't flashy and in high style, whats the point?

i don't mind it being ugly if he is doing well and winning, but if it is ugly, and he is losing...then he should atleast look good while doing it! LOL!

the problem is that we usually try to discourage ricing out of the scions here on SL with unnecessary parts like huge spoilers and fake stick on side exhaust pipes, but in this case, since it is the real thing it is okay, but on some douchebags tc that they delivery pizza's with...not so much.

kiss_kiss_kill

It's SO funny you should say that cuz the Dominos pizza delivery guy has a friggin crazy riced out HTM gen 2. It makes me cry. Stick on chrome vents on the hood and all.

10PieceNuggets

I hate it when people say this. While you do have a point, I hate it when people say "oh its for racing, who cares what it looks like?"

Thats on you. But its ugly. Sorry. Functionally ugly.

pretty doesnt win races.
it wins trophys.

I love polar cars. Cars that try to please everyone are lame. The fact that everything is functional makes it that much more beautiful IMO.
