Having fun searching for XP AutoX cars

I posted last year to find out what class my porsche would be in and you guys told me XP and posted up some pictures of the cars. They all looked Bad Ass! So I am wasting time with Google image search looking for these over the top cars. I know very little about AutoX, but these cars sure look fun. old post

That Celica isn't an XP car... that's Smokey Nagata's personal Celica.

That corrolla has a carbon fiber body shell. Iirc, it weighs about 35 pounds.

I've seen this car run. And sold him parts. The owner is a cool guy, but the car isn't quite to its full potential yet.

Hey, that's DILYSI Dave's Honda in the background!

Unpainted CF is ricey, didn't you get the memo?

Because bare CF is tacky and overdone

BTW, I tried searching for kevlarcorolla with his exact username and came up with no results, this search function needs some work.

Yeah, both cars are card carrying members of the Alpha Tau Lambda region.

That shot was taken at nats. You can tell by the 4 square on the ground.

well, looking at the comments under his car, hes been around in the last month.

Because CF degrades when exposed to UV light is the first thought I had.

In reply to scardeal:

Unless you gel-coat it.

Because being subtle about your mods is cool, since you can put something obviously flashy for people to find and ogle while they ignore the real mods.

For what it's worth, I think Collett's S2000 is going to kill XP next year.

personally, ricer or not, I dont think theres much that beats a slick as snot wet finished CF panel on a car. Doublepluscool if you have FUNCTIONAL lip/spoiler/skirt add-ons that actually improve aero (not the jDMy0!1 crowd omfgdorifto crazy bozozoku kits that are half falling off and held on with zip ties). Anything done with taste can be cool!

What's the rollcage weigh? That's one seriously braced car.

I can't believe you guys are all excited about old Toyotas when snipes started off with that horny Lotus.

I'm excited about old toyotas, because I've got one. And I like them better than the Lotuses anyways.

I thought I read somewhere that the whole car weighed around 1500lbs or so, but I can't remember where I saw it.

here's a pic with the top off..
