Even if the engine of this NSX was highly modified it would have a harder time getting up to speed with all the weight they just added to that car. Looks like real high quality work, but also very thick and considering the thickness used and how many panels were done, and also how much larger the car is now.... I would imagine they added 500lbs to the weight of the car.

High quality work, nice car to start with... but they definitly slowed that car down by making it look faster.

O BTW why are you saying the F50 is an unreliable car?
Because old ferraris are unreliable. Even Ferrari fans admit that. The 550 Maranello and Modena are the first reliable ferraris. I live right next to Italy and trust me this is not my imagination

why does everyone keep saying it is a waist of money? it is just foam core and fiberglass. this shop probbly uses this stuff regurly and raw materials prob. arn't over $600 for core and glass, it is just there man hours and if the owner did it him self just for a fun project there is no money wasted there. i pesonaly think it is one of the top 2 or 3 "kit" cars i have ever seen. i congradulate the craftsman that accomplished such a great endevor. how dare you insult this mans art!

Wait... A small FRP part (ex. the bumper) costs around $300-600, why this HUGE FRP project should cost around $600?
