The kids in the every country do things a little differently. Tuning scenes vary greatly and the influence from other forms of motorsports, available parts and history all play a part.
Dennis is from the USA, and the influence I see in the wheels is immediately obvious to me, that this is an american influence. Pettit Racing and Peter Farrell Super cars among others have used similar rims since the FD's inception through SCCA racing and other sanctioned events.
I don't post much from the US. but the scene is very strong. The Recent Deals Gap and along with Rotorstock still draw crowds from all over the 40+ mainland states.
America loves the driving road. From the highway cruise, to the winding mountain road attack, the sunday drive and the quarter mile or mile or topen challenge. The FD is still there.
We may see some more from Dennis and his 94 black FD in the future.

Very Nice FD!
ReplyDeletei've always really liked that style spoiler and thought it was underused on FD's, especially in the states. that's a great looking car!
