Very cool, except the black steelies probably weigh more than the stock wheels. And do you really need a big rear wing with only 140 HP?
This Exocet gets super bonus points for the black steelies. Power comes from a 1.8-liter Miata engine. Asking price? $16,000.

Wow. Pretty sure you couldn't build that car, parts only, for $16K.
The post lists the Bassett wheels at 17 lbs each which is fairly light for steel. Pretty cool car, just not within my budget.

The wing isn't about horsepower, but about handling, The speed carried through the corners by cars like these is pretty impressive compared to their costs. I'm sure your negative commenting really helps with the sale.
Don't like it? Take it off and sell it when you buy it, put the money somewhere useful for you.

Why are your panties in a twist? My "negative" comments are tame. Besides, since when are commentators obligated to pimp ze ride?

Mine has a wing so it looks less like a dune buggy (not that there is anything wrong with dune buggies)! ;) Exocet's always look funny without something back there to help what little styling they have flow (IMO).
That and I think it looks cool. I spent entirely too much on it, but it made the car's looks for me!

Just means not as effective as it could be. It doesn't mean ineffective.
