Intmd8r Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Another quick build. My son has been playing Need for Speed games lately and asked me to build him one of his favourite cars. He had complete influence on the design: only rule was that he had to pick parts and decals from my “parts box”. The Miata, extreme camber, or the exhaust is not my style, but he’s thrilled with it. He asked that the paint be white and fade to black. I added my own influence with the zebra stripes.

Dragonhawk1066 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Looks good, and definitely has that Need For Speed flavor. I'm with you though, I just can't figure out that extreme camber craze, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you though, I just can't figure out that extreme camber craze, lol. I know in the early days of the sport, underpowered cars use to max out the rear camber to reduce the tire contact patch. This would make the car easier to drift in a corner. Stretched tires were a means of fitting the widest offset wheels under a car without making contact to the fender. Somehow, this became a fad. Looks cartoonish to me. Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ea0863 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Just awesome Steve! Like you, I've been many a model with my son (including a replica of his 3000GT), and they automatically become treasured memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
