One more example of how box flares make everything awesomer:

Sorry for the late reply. Hmm, A) Why not? B) Why not? and C) Why not?

Box-flared BMW 850CSi time attack car with a single-turbo BMW V12 making 1378hp through a sequential gearbox.

^That is all kinds of awesome^

This is my favorite thread on GRM. Every time it comes to the top I get a little giddy.

Not exactly Box but because Rabbit Racer seen at Mid Ohio IT event a few weeks back.

They WERE sold in the UK as a Rover and in the US as a Sterling, so perhaps that helps with car classification?

Doesn't explain the Ford power though, but sometimes you go with what you know.

Wasn't Thundersaloon just kind of a silhouette class anyways?

Wouldn't surprise me, but those situations can breed some interesting choices depending on how the rules are written.

There's also potential sponsor tie-ins and sometimes, just for the hell of it because its racing and racing should be fun.

The above is sexy as hell....even if its only a CG thingy.

In reply to bravenrace:

I look at his rendering of a '69 Camaro and go "Why isn't someone building that right now?"

I look at some of his stuff and want a real life version, but A) I don't think it'd be possible and B) I don't think it'd come out as cool in real life as in his renderings.

In reply to NickD:

exactly. The Ford truck would make even more sense, since you can buy a rusty one for next to nothing and then cut the rust out and put the flares on, lower it and stick a Coyote crate engine in it. But yeah, that Camaro would be killer.

Its probably a good thing that I sold my CRX before I saw that picture.

Might already be here but...

While these are not actually box flares...
