Jim 1 Posted June 8, 2012 Not so sure about carbon wrapping everything (unless of course you actually had everything made in Carbon Fiber in which case wow!!) but I still think the car is fabulous :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMC 0 Posted June 8, 2012 Interesting build Drake. Looks like you have a similar engine setup to mine - what sort of power are you expecting to see? I like the carbon, as long as it is carbon and not carbon wrap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abdul 0 Posted June 11, 2012 Like I said on edition, as far as show going corrados are concerned this is IMO one of the best in the world. Personally the carbon dash is too much but it fits in as it's a show car etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
