Thanks Foosh. Less tire, as we all know, is less unsprung weight, less cost, less hydroplaning, and many other goodnesses. And why as per the above chart, if Ferrari can run 711 HP on its ready-for-track model Pista, and it uses the identically sized tires as the entry mid engine Corvette, that even on a later Corvette 800 HP model, and with the ability to go one tire size wider without body width changes (again if planned for in advance) the 245/305 tire configuration to start, leaves us leaning in the direction that there might not be a wide body ME down the road, especially with the 1,000 HP version supposedly having AWD, front axle electrical motors.

So much actually fits very well, the rear (cough, Shaka) does need some proportional editing, pushing and pulling front to rear, from the back, it looks right. It's harder to gauge the various depths. I still think it looks good but I will try to improve it.

Sorry guys, looks like the front nose has to be blunted a bit, too.

Wow, the new lighting added to your model really makes a huge, positive difference. It adds necessary depth and accentuates the lines that can't be properly assessed in 1D without realistic lighting.

These are awesome... I can't make up my mind if I want in your face yellow or subtle silver with red interior.

Yeah, I know, the wheels are a weak spot.

Once again, the more realistic lighting in the model makes all the difference and more closely simulates what one would actually see. I was somewhat blah before, but I'm really starting to like it.

Amazing work, Chaz!

That model is coming along really well. It's impressive how accurate it appears to be when laid over the actual car photos. I'm glad you are making the effort to keep improving it rather than decide it's close enough and move on. It will be interesting to see how close it is to the actual car.
