martinfan5 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I think its safe to talk about this one now, Aoshima as not officially announced it yet but its safe to say that its in the works as they have posted a few pics of a sample build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsDano85gt Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 this may be a Dumb question perhaps, but what exactly is "Rocket Bunny" ?? some sort of aftermarket go fast company that does body kits and engine hop up parts or something? a brand name of some sort? customizing company?

jbwelda Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) the thing about that "OK" logo is that if the artist just obscured that third finger sticking up, and moved the first finger sticking up to the left just a little bit...it would very much resemble the Playboy bunny logo. maybe its like that to avoid just such a conflict. I got the first kit but not sure I will get this one as my current building tendencies are more with older cars than bang up to the moment stuff like this, but they sure got some interesting design concepts. though it looks almost traditional in its layout, that RX7 just kills me. prime example of hot rod spirit alive in the modern generation (albeit in a different country). anyone know of organized races of this sort of car (or even street races, PM me) in northern California? I would love to see them go round sears point or laguna seca (note old skool names). jb Edited March 29, 2014 by jbwelda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin T Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 William you might want to look and see if the Formula D is going to be in your area this year. Plenty of cars like this being pushed to the limits at every corner. Everyone from the big aftermarket guys with the crazy $$$$ cars to the weekend warriors with a souped up Miata participate.

jbwelda Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 hey Austin thanks for that tip! seems like they are racing through the streets of long beach just next weekend (too short of notice for me unfortunately) and that should be WILDER than wild! then again in October down in LA which is on a proper track, not as exciting as through the streets I think. this is Formula Drift Pro Championship series http://formulad.com/schedule/pro-championship/ gonna have to check into this a bit more and see if I can come with something up norte. thanks again! jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty it was a pretty good way to market a product like that to young guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
