Hell yeah Lumina.
I don't think you should ever call it anything but a VF Commodore. Lumina, sheesh.

I'm surprised to hear you'd move to a turbo four after the V8. Even if the 1.8 came free in your next donor, the turbo kit could easily cost more than another used V8.

Maybe not, 6.0, T56 and RWD

possibly. but it is a bit front end heavy, which for MY particular application/driving style isnt a bother. I would like to make something a little lighter, and nimble, hence hte 1.8 and turbo. I went a little ridiculous on this one, and want to go more refined on my next one.
plus its so much time and fab work to get this v8 in correctly and how i wanted it. the turbo would be so much cake. i could even throw in a V mount maybe like my miata had. It was a 1.8 T before i put the v8 in it
more this style
a bit cheaper to drift with
In reply to v8exocet:
Apparently, you do not reside in the US. I guess I should have guessed considering where you were planning to take the car.
nah, i do military aviation contract work in saudi arabia.
Back on thread.
Is this designed to fit any Miata frame or one particular model?
NA and NB I think
yep. all NA and NB.

Any chance we could get this bodywork package?
Personally I'd hope for something with functional aero benefits
holy berkeley. i want that aero on mine now.

You make it look like that and I know more then a few of my kit car guys who will line up with cash.
Pricing dependent myself included.
Yeah, that is awesome!
Whoa I really like that bodywork! Not so sure about driving on 24s though
I think it almost looks futuristic enough for us to launch our "real forza line" HUD display tech on it :)
Agreed on wheels one of the reasons I am so pro miata is smaller tires = cheaper consumables
That bodywork = mini Batmobile
We're opening up a 3D design competition around the beginning of the year for the 2014 Exocet's bodywork. I've seen a lot of creative drawings from my Industrial Design buddies, I'm sure the difficulty will be choosing the final design.
Just a public service announcement, you haven't lived until you've been blue flagged while riding in an Ultima GTR. Atlanta Motorsports Park is incredible. We got the 'cet on track, too. Video coming up sometime soon.
Wait what was passing YOU in an ultima GTR?

That totally looks as if it should unfold into a robot.
Just make sure if you guys do an internet design contest you are communicative about anything that won't be happening based on those results :)
Somebody shop that thing in Blackcherry with a 17" rim plz
Rims like this

I'd still go 15 personally. That is the standard miata size and way cheaper on tire :P
These look beefy enough for me
Although I do think the Pro Race would look good
More tires available at 17
