The wide stance and giant wings make it the one Honda Civic that Batman would drive. And like the Batmobile, this one goes out in all kinds of weather. “Snow makes for great rooster tails,” Cody Loveland, the car’s builder, says with a grin.

Those look like factory front shock towers, I'm surprised they survive those spring rates, especially once the inner springs are engaged.
I have to keep my cars from ending up at this level of insane. It's VERY tempting, but combine incompatible roads, lack of venues that would highlight an aero car's capabilities, and perhaps most importantly, I have no idea beyond theory what I'm doing with aero design, and... you see where I'm going with this.
Love this little Honda though, definitely has a presence!

500whp in a car that probably weighs 2000 lbs, with enough aero and tires to put it to the ground, this might be one of the more ridiculous fwd builds I've seen.
it would be interesting if someone took this shell and shoved a 4th gen Acura TL-S AWD drivetrain in it. It would be a ton of fabrication and custom parts (driveshafts and axles would have to be custom built), and who knows how long the stock AWD drivetrain would last with a turbo pushing power through it, but it would theoretically be amazing.
