Pointless but would be cool

Post by DCIV »

What pointless but would be cool things do you wish someone would do for a 3/s?

I really wish someone would make an AA bannana. I just think that would be so bad ass! Totally pointless though. Right up my ally though.

All gave some, some gave all.

America is not at war, the US military is. America is at the mall.

There's nothing quite like the feeling of coming back from a deployment to a warzone.

Isn't the Stealth spoiler already pointless?

Oh totally but it would be cool if someone put all that work into an AA version. Lol. It would break all the time, it would never be noticed...except by those that know. It’s perfect!

Make that thing bulletproof so when it flips up it blocks the whole rear hatch glass from bullets, as well as obscuring the rearview mirror entirely.

I remember seeing an article years back about how the RT sails directed air onto the spoiler. Due to the placement the downforce was applied almost right over the tires.

And as far as an AA Stealth wing there was a guy that made one back in the day. He posted a video of it in action.

Put a totally different engine and transmission in it, but still pretend it's a 3S.

What he said. The rear pillars direct the air flow over the wing. So it's not 100% pointless, probably just 95%. Banana still looks the best (especially a 96).

Tube frame all the way around and claim its still a street car?

I wouldnt say the rear spoiler is pointless. Between the Stealth and the 3000GT the aero on the stealth was more progressive and equal at speeds than the 3000gts ive owned.

I would like to see JZ promote a 3s. That would start up some controversy.

That's subjective. I think the hoop spoiler and Spyder spoiler look the best.

I wanted to do an NSX-R style spoiler on the Spyder.

The short glass and long, flat ass on the NSX are vaguely similar to the Spyder.

I've found several under 50k now. I wonder if the bubble on them has popped?

Underpowered against anything modern. Still a cool car though.

They're cool cars for sure. I really like them. But I'd have a real problem going from 460 to 295 hp.

I'm really interested in seeing how badly the new ones depreciate.

I was never really a fan of the NSX.. but they have grown on me over the last couple of years.

Great looks, track handling, and all aluminum frame. Manual with a turbocharged motor would get it back into the HP game.
