I like the car alot. Very unique design. When I saw the Javan's when they first came out in 06, I was in love. I'd like to see it around! Though I doubt you'll be driving it alot?

That 100lbs of down force at 100mph is cool I guess, but the car still weighs 2000lbs, physics is still in favor of the R1.

Everyone is going to have their favorite 4 cylinder. Mitsu guys like 4g63 motors, Nissan guys like sr20det motors, Honda guys like their platform etc...

The car is different in my opinion. The craftsmanship behind building a vehicle not something you see every day unless you work for a nascar of f1 team etc..

I am looking forward to dyno tuning the first Javin R1 in the USA. It should be a blast

Mike has done a great job of assembling the Javin R1. We just need to fabricate a turbo model after this one muahah
