sharif, care to shed some light on how you will design your exhaust tips and rear body panels? e.g., the new italia exhaust setup looks like it belongs on the track! would prefer to see 2 or 3 centered tips vs one big tip

Chris and I are having an internal debate about how to route the exhaust. Becuase the car will eventually have a TT system on it, we may have exit the exhaust just in front of the rear wheel, on each side of the car. We are doing some drawaing right now and some of these decisions will be made on the fly.

FYI: All the glass is out now! I will snap some more pics. The body is looking clean and sparse.

Can't wait to see some pictures!

Out the sides!! Less weight!

travisjb · 08-02-2009, 12:06 AM

agree, but I'd worry about noise restrictions at some tracks... maybe sharif and chris have that figured out too???

travisjb · 08-02-2009, 12:25 AM

if you're looking for design inspiration, I think the side exhaust on the outgoing corvette gt1 was tastefully done and well integrated

Shunya · 08-02-2009, 12:30 AM

^i like!

The 458 Italia's are going to be a classic like the 250GTO…………absolutely love it!

That's the general idea. For noise restrictive tracks we will have v band clamped race mufflers that can quickly be introduced if needed. The side exit allows us to mount pumps and coolers other things in the rear section of the car.

I think you guys will approve.

speaking of which, I wonder what kinda body work would be done (sorry if i missed anything earlier I'm lazy lol)

RCZ · 08-02-2009, 11:35 PM

^ probably a real wing and a real front splitter. Waiting to see what they do for aero so I can copy it

Shunya · 08-02-2009, 11:59 PM

^i guess hope so! huge wings that works is good

How much does the car weigh now? And I think that the updates should also be placed within the first post as well as new posts. Or just placing post numbers that have the updates, in the original post.
