Well, you can obviously see that I'm not Matra, but I have to say u ruined the car rather than made it better. Sorry, but that's just my opinion. However, the Carrera GT looks amazin! Oh well, we can't get it right 100% of the time, right?

Yes, the Matra has not improved. Furthermore this is actually the unique U8 Matra, that doesn't deserve to be tampered with.
It's a brave man who takes a unique car and chops it.Originally Posted by Batmobile_Turbo
BUt, it's not the way I'd go with it
As a 70s car, I'd add 70's style bodykits
( You've stolen some thunder too. If - BIG if - I win the chop competition the Bagheera was one of the cars I was going to offer for the next competition )
You're changes make it look to much like a 70s Ferrari.
It would have been nice to have seen what could have been done and retained it's "Frenchness"
Check out the Grp4 A310s ( I've already posted A110 GrpIvs elsewhere )

some people can't get enoughOriginally Posted by Matra et Alpine
Be fair, I would sell the 2 current Bagheeras.Originally Posted by henk4
After all the U8 *IS* two 1442 engines in the same body

You might want to keep them for spare parts, although I presume that the U8 has different traverse dicks.Originally Posted by Matra et Alpine
Now there will be some people who don't get thatOriginally Posted by henk4
HAve a virtual +1 rep point for the laugh ( have to wait till I've put it around a bit )

I'll be able to manage for a while on a credit basis.Originally Posted by Matra et Alpine
(Just lost my exhaust this morning after 180,000 km's, sounds very interesting)
it was done in not very much time, could you post more pictures of Matra nd Alpine so have more chopping material, because i have only a few pics...Originally Posted by Matra et Alpine
anyway, i don't really understand the frenchness of a car

More 310 pics posted already.Originally Posted by Batmobile_Turbo
As tiem permits, I'll be posting the best of my collectino on Matra and Alpine cars over the next week.
It's in the lines.anyway, i don't really understand the frenchness of a car
They flow .... with a "feminine" curve.
Compare with a Ferrari or Lamborghini, Italian cars tend to be more masculine.
I'll look out pics I've got of Zagato stylings done on Matra and Alpine bodies and the difference in look is clear

the choped Bagheera with a rear wing looks horrible ... just horrible .. no way that looks like a 70's ferrari ..
There is no terrible way of winning
there is just winning
