I'd opt for a modern 8th scale to tune for onroad any day.

In fact, get a truggy chassis, use buggy suspension, and you've got a 1/7 scale onroad car with proper width/wheelbase ratios. The current 1/8 gt cars are too wide for their wheel base and the wheels are too big.

Too bad it's tough to find a body to fit one!
That's kind of the amusing thing about them, they are practically free to build and they are gonna rotate well because of the short wheel base.

I'd be shocked if anyone talking about these are thinking of taking them at all seriously.. This is the kind of car you don't care if the nose of the car is pointing into the apex during a race.

If I wanted a fully legit race car I'd ask Mark Day what's up and have him set me straight. While a full fledged race car would be super....dude....Its $180.
