Seriously uncool: it looks like it's been crashed, and the owner didn't bother to fix it up correctly, choosing instead to whack in a metal frame.

Oops.

I won't be persuaded to the contrary! It looks like a reconstituted open-wheel racecar wreck.

Subzero. Looks awesome, lets you "see" what a car is all about, and goes like stink.

You need to see this car in person to be able to appreciate how cool it really looks like, and that's when it hits home (and up close and personal, sitting in that bucket seat, you get this tingly sensation all around you, believe me).

Subzero just becuse it has a Honda engine in it and you can add cool turbo chargers and pulley and NOZ!!

Naw I'm just fucking with ya. Its subzero becuase of the topgear review I saw on it makes this car just unbelievable! (well atleast until I see it in real life)

It's funny how so many people (Seeing it in pictures) thinks it looks like it was made in ones garage...

In reality, the workmanship is tip top. All welds are superbly done, all cables well cleaned up and attached to the chassis. And when you sprint down a road passing car after car with the roar from the air intake sucking your ears out, it's just dumbfounding (I should know, I experienced one!)

So what? It still looks ugly.
