I really like the overall "torn" scheme of the 2 colors..but all the other graphics within the dark colored paint kinda distracts from it.

Looks like really nice work, but too overdone.

Did I read that right - Mario Andretti went over 203mph in that car? Maybe I'm a little pessimistic, but realistically, with that hp and it being a convertible, is that even possible?
