I still don't understand how a set of sway bars and control arms on springs with a softer rate can make the K1 handle "better than a GT3 RS."

I love this car but I think it looks better without the racing stripes.

I sat in that car last week when I was there finalizing my order...looks amazing in person, but would be a tough car to drive except as a occasional toy/track machine. The carbon fiber pieces are very impressive, but I'd be afraid that each time I drove it I would rip something off...and at $3K each that would add up.

Simple. Pay for advertising = positive review. For further examples check BMW reviews in any major magazine.

The car was painted by Champion Motorsport from what I heard, correct me if I'm wrong.

the stripes are HORRIBLE in my opinion. I have the issue the car was featured in...and the grey is perfect. No need for those ugly stripes.

Good point. I remember reading http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...omparison_test a few weeks ago. All of the sudden, the bolt-action precision of the 911's manual transmission is "clunky." I guess Champion must have been pretty good to Excellence...Go figure.

gradyex was kind enough to scan the original article in excellence...https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...15&postcount=2
