:eek: thats a bit of an animal,love it

Whilst I can appreciate the amount of work that has gone into it, the looks are all wrong imo.

Wheels are too big, and the e-tec style spoiler is completely out of place on that motor.

It probably needs the spoiler though! I think the wheels look spot on, yeah they're big, but too big? I think they suit it. I can understand where you're coming from though, as chances are, if you stood one wheel on top of the other, they'd be taller than the car!

With the suspension bits coming through the bonnet it just looks like they cocked up their sums at the planning stage and had to find a way out of the hole they'd dug...

Anybody'd think it was my car the way i'm defending it lol...

...looking at the rest of the car, and the fabrication work needed, do you really think they got their sums wrong? :P

I think its awesome.

Who cares if its got struts poking through the bonnet (I think a neat touch) its got a fecking great Volvo engine in it with a GT40 turbo and a Supercharger, bring it on!

oooooooh i just wet my pants...... that is seriously one sexy car..... but if it were black............ it would be eeeeeeevil!!!!!

...looking at the rest of the car, and the fabrication work needed, do you really think they got their sums wrong? :P

Looks like it - what if you hit a bump while turning? The front wheels'd foul the arches.

Look at the size of that freakin turbo :eek:

Love it.

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

The vid of the engine on the dyno is good. Nice glowing exhaust manifold!

that's awesome!

aside from them ****ing up the dimentions of the space frame necessitating the holes in the bonnet!

Wow! I like that!

IMO they started with a Manta A, and managed to finish up with something looking more like a BMW 3.0 CSL! The craft skills are great, but it was still a waste of a perfectly good Manta.

An awesome manta a.

My personal preference is the manta b, then again i am biased.

I prefer the Manta B too, but I'd prefer an Opel GT (think 7/8 scale Corvette C4 coupe) to either on looks.
