The fastest Time Attack class car (ie apart from actual racing cars) around Tsukuba is Under Suzuki's S15:
Shows that the S-body chassis and the SR20 can still cut it against the best of the best in 2012, 24 years after the basic design came out with the '88 S13 Silvia.

As far as big gay wings go. That is the biggest I have ever seen.
Awesome

An 800bhp SR20VET can cut it against pretty much anything lol. It is a hugely inspirational car as are Suzuki and the Horikoshi brothers.
I've posted a lot of this in the inspirational thread over the last couple days/weeks.
but definitely deserves its own thread imo, such a huge achievement from a privateer. and with out doubt he`s only going to go faster. from watching the video if he can manage to reduce the wheel spin out of turns 6 and 10 and hold a slightly better line through turn 12(easier said than done i know lol) i think he'd be touching keiichi tsuchiya arta nsx record (51.8). not bad considering he`s still on semi slicks and still without a rear diffuser/flat floor
can't wait for battle evome next month, looking forward to seeing what the exceed s14 has in the way of upgrades as i know they've been working with new front splitters recently, and iirc they're now running a similar engine set up to the s15.

Saw this the other day, very impressive
Seriously can spend ages looking at the pics alone and getting idea's for this and that,a very inspiring 'S' body so full of awesomeness
what they can do more than just drifing
That was awesome. I liked this photo -
They could easily gain 2-3 seconds by sorting out their aerodynamics.
What do you think he's been doingThe only thing missing of any significance is the underbody stuff.
LoL
Wow, that is amazing. So much power from the SR20, yet so smooth.
What sort of transmission setup has he got? I cant make out if he is using a clutch pedal or not.
Ahhhh come on mate. You can't just pull numbers out of the air and credit it to aero. That's why aero is so scene
that S15 is awesome.
best you send him your cv so he can hire you then lol.
Of course I can.
It looks very messy from the back. A lot of the aero on it just looks for show and is probably just adding drag.
This is well thought out aero:

Clean and efficient.
Seriously mean car, and the noise that thing makes is top notch!
Can't help but think i'd shit myself going through the sweeping turn before the last hairpin!

When you have that much power, drag doesn't matter, downforce does. None of the aero on this is for show. Clean and efficient isn't the way. Look at all the other quick cars....Of course I can.
