I was wandering if any of you guys had some feedback about a carbon fiber hatch on an ITR. I heard that it throws off the weight distribution and the caR handles like ***.
Can someone confirm this?

 

Do you realize how silly this question sounds?

 

Here's why it's a silly question:

The carbon fiber hatch takes weight OFF the rear.

How then could it handle like ***? It ought to handle Less like ***.

It looks stupid.

 

It look stupid by itself but it look great with CF hood on a CW.

 

Are you getting it for looks or to make the car lighter for the track?

Looks = Ricer.
Weight Savings =

no. it looks plain stupid all together on a street car. especially if you get one of those "OE" CF replacement parts that weight as much as the stock piece.

 

all my cf looked stupid so i painted it

That is if you like cf/black hoods and hatches on cars with non-black body panels. Looks like *** to me, and most other people whos opinions I respect. But we don't matter, we're not cool or hip or on the scene or any of that, or so i'd lead you on to believe!

But... then if you took off some weight by adding a CF Hatch which made it handle less like ***, then (unless you have a black car or all CF body panels) adding the CF hatch will also make it look more like ***, so its no more or less *** than it was before. Right?

chris - who thinks the *** end would have less weight, that is all.

That would be the principle of the conservation of ***.

Scott, whose car looks like *** because it's DIRTY...putting me in Good Bad company...

 

ahaha! conservation of teh ***. i always forget about that.

But....
looks like *** &lt; drives like ***

or is it the other way around?

chris - who warshed his type **** recently, but it has shitty tires on it and a gsr crank behind the driver's seat so.... I've got twice the driving like *** and 1/2 the looking like ***. Unbalanced equation!

 

NOT TROO!

If Your *** is in teh seat, then the equation is balanced.

You just overlooked the infinity divided by zero coefficient (or as I reefer to it: the Type-R can never lose).

looks like *** and cost way too damn much!

That all depends on your perspective of the word ***... If ***= Zero coefficient than you really have no ***... and at that point the Type-R never existed therefor it never lost but it never was eigther!
