Oh dear lord... Is it gonna look like this when it's done? OK. Fuck all the bullshit. I need me another hatch.

This doodoo'd on the old Rocket Bunny aero. Its like they just copy and pasted the FRS kit onto an S-Chassis... lol

Hmmm... Wonder what the Ben Sopra X Tra-Kyoto treatment would look on an S14... You know its coming...

Am I the only one wondering WHY?????? Why put $30k motor into a 20 year old chasis? An LSx or a 2Jz swap I can understand as those motors are relatively inexpensive, but this?

Because people are rich and want a completely ridiculous power to weight ratio car thats probably not possible to control.. Its just for the unique factor i guess...

Regardless of what happens to the shell (wrecked, whatever), that motor is still a $30k motor. its not like the second it gets dropped into a S13 that its worthless :P.

Heck if I had the money, I'd be doing swaps like this all day. When I get bored of a shell, pull the motor and throw it into the next thing.

I'll confess: I HATE their GTR's aero. Shits gross to me. But this S13 aero looks like an amazing take on an old ass cult classic.

I say way to go, Ben Sopra. In light of all the new hotness eclipsing our beloved rust buckets, thanks for helping to keep the S-Chassis relevant in 2013.

But the thought just occured to me... You guys think it's too early to start wanting a Tra-Kyoto X Ben Sopra 350Z?

Yeah that exhaust is a bit much, but the car itself is really awesome. Cant wait to see it finished.. I forsee them somehow pulling that exhaust off though.

You crazy. If you say you can't respect this level of innovation and fabrication, you're just talking out of your ass.

I really wanna know what transmission they're using...

More renderings of what the finished product may look like:

I am in love with those renderings. I really hope it turns out nearly as sick. I'm also curious about what trans they're using though.

And from the looks of things, It's still not finished. I mean, It probably runs... but it's pretty beat and rough around the edges. I bet it's gonna look even lovelier when they finish it. I couldn't even guess what width tires they're running...

Speedhunters is reporting that it was specially built for some top speed challenge. Lets hope it doesn't disintegrate while it tries to break records.

EDIT: Oh dear god... It's already on the prowl...




Oh wait... my bad... Thats a regular old Rocket Bunny
