I got a perfect idea for the paint scheme and name.....call it the RED DRAGON! Ya know from the movie old school...........Took the restrictor plate off to give the RED DRAGON a little more juice. But ehh...lets keep that on the down low, its not exactly street legal.....This is it, no questions asked. Im taking full credit for this one, Its what dubbed my EVO but you guys can use it

Do you guys have a target weight? I appreciate that you guys are going the distance with the shop cars. Everyone's raising the bar so high now. We'll see you guys at the track next season.

My skills at Gimp aren't stellar but i can still draw lines on a car.

The origional color was red
I guess i suck at design too

Thanks

I wanted the design to be simple on principle for letting AMS put their logo where ever they want. I'd like the design to be bold yet subtly complex but my skills aren't up to that kind of task. I've been looking at rally car pictures for inspiration. Maybe i should look at some other types of cars for inspiration on how the lines show flow.
