Carbon fibre undertray



These are the REAR brakes

Still don't like the 'vette ass end but the side profile more than makes up for it, big Wednesday please be mine!

[David R]

I think its going to be one of those cars where people look at pics and think meh, but when you see it in the flesh its hot. Those pics make it look good, not as big as I thought it was.

[grandell]

i think its more that its so wide, rather than 'big'

at least in black it makes the clamshell roof and grill look a lot less ugly (although i notice there aren't any pics of the front



i am secretly jealous though... cf looks hot too

[Fabolous]

That's one mint lookin car! Looks better the more I look at it.

Don't know if I would pick it over a European car in the same price range though.... mmm 997 gt3 *drool* (don't actually know how much it is...) or sell life for gt3 RS

TYTE! Never seen one from that side angle. Looks tops. But must agree on the rear, something just isn't right about it... but sounds like it is something you need to see in person to appreciate.

Would someone PLEASE take the "Fast 4's and Turbos" plate surround off

[Matty]

Sorry but that C-pillar design is still hurting it.

That is the name of the dealership, they are one of New Zealands most highly regarded performance car dealers.

Fixed

Never heard anything but bad news from Fast4's

[Adeane]

They don't own it, They just put the surround on it for advertising.

Fixed.. as in it's your car and you have removed the plate surronds?

Agree with you about Fast4's and bad news..they dont' have a very good name for themselves after the deal is done.

No fixed his statement lol

I wish i could afford the car, not that i would buy one though. I'm still sitting on the fence till i see one in the flesh, though for the $$$ (i heard 170K, could be very wrong) i'd rock an RS4 over that anyday.

I'm with you on that one.... kinda makes the whole car look clumsy.

Not such a fan of the overall style but I can see what they're getting at.

Undoubtedly there'll be a few of them here before long

from the pictures it looks like it is at Stu Macdonald out in hastings

Correct

[canman]

perfect example of how black cars always look dirty !

[VTAKYO]

I probably worded that statement incorrectly. I don't know anything about their after-sale support, but based on some of the high profile cars they have sold I would say they are defnitely up there in the area they specialse in. Compared to say, Indycars and Blingbling down here in Christchurch (who I have heard nothing but bad news about).

They are all in the same boat, with fast 4s having the worse name of all of them.

I knew a guy who used to work there, if 20% of the stories he told me were true, those guys should have been ripped apart by the commerce commission about 500 times and sued for all they could. He left because of their attitude of wanting to completely rip people off and hide all sorts of problems.

But, when you deal with the type of cars they do, you've got to expect mega problems. It's just part of their day-to-day business.
