• That hood and emblem does not look right. Is this AI?

    Edit: not ai. My b

    You have a point there. The hood should either be a cowl or have a cutout, otherwise it doesn't look like it can close.

    Look at the lines on the underside of the hood. It looks like the entire black center panel rises quite a bit, making room

    You may be right. There is also what appears to be overspray or an artifact of poor digital processing on the right underside of that same black panel.

    I think that’s just a reflection of the paint

    It looks like it’s transparent and reflective at the exact same time. Or rather, I saw it as transparent with no clue where you got reflection from, then I sort of forced a different perspective of sorts and saw nothing but reflection. It’s like a “what color is the dress” situation. Sorta reeks of AI to me?

    I’ve noticed matte black surfaces will reflect colors underneath them at certain angles. I had a ca with matte black on it and on some sides it would change color due to the painted concrete floor

    You could be right. I'm not dead sure to the point where I'm willing to dig my heels in either way. The grille could be aftermarket, the hood could have a hump to accommodate the air filter, I just don't know. I would like a video of it in action. Nobody would build an animal like this without the intention of racing it. Once I see it do a run against a real competitor I will be satisfied.

    No one building a car to race is going to spend $10k on a paint job. This is the archetypical “car show cruiser” build. A very cool looking classic car that you park at car shows on Sunday. Nothing wrong with that, but you know, just not necessarily built for function.

    The grill is 100% aftermarket. It does kind of look like a render, but I guess I am just suspicious of anything lately.

    Definitely ai, look the horse just floating there. The rear tires also is gibberish
