Absolutely awesome! One of the things that I like that these guys do is they have a style that continues from car to car that sets them apart from everybody. You know it when you're looking at a Ring Bros. car. You guys have definately raised your own bar. The engine blows me away more than anything, I could stare at it for days. I like the detailing of the rear bumper and rear tail of the car, the color combination and stripe are especially beautiful. The stance is killer. I'll wait to see the front end in person, maybe a little over the top for me but it's very aggressive and follows the rest of the cars theme - outrageous. Nice stuff, can't wait to see it in person. I'm sure like all your other builds it will take me atleast 2 days to find all the details!
Thanks for sharing.

Awsome work :thumbsup: .

Ditto what has been said already!
Are the ground affects made of steel or are they painted carbon fiber?

Mal

very nice car indeed.

I really like the engine compartment right now.

fack.. they got my wheels.. and backwards at that.. hahah

i like the car BUT the body kit...

I really like this car very well done.
The only 2 things i don't like is the side skirts they put them on everything they do. The other thing I'm not crazy about is the holes in the inner fender.
If they have an inner cover to cover those holes then its okay.
I just can't image that the car would get driven with holes in the top surface of the inner fender the engine compartment would never stay clean.

They have a lot of custom machined parts that have yet to go into the car. What you see under the hood isn't the finished product. :thumbsup:

It would look much better if they stopped now. Under the hood of the last two cars has been WAY too busy IMO.

That's subjective, Travis. Afterall, they did win SMOTY and have a build book published. :thumbsup:

nice car, i would rather see anodized billet then raw or polished if any

Yeah, there is always that. :rofl: I think it looks killer. Ill bet the owner is more then happy with this car.

Well isn't this upcoming SMOTY car need to actually perform instead of coming off a trailer and looking pretty?
It will be interesting to see what happens and who wins this year.

Yes, this year's SMOTY contenders will have to driven and flogged as a part of the event... and from what Mike told me, the owner is anxious to do just that.

I have to say, I agree completely!

Sweet Ride! Diggin what i see! :thumbsup:
The only thing im not crazy about is the valve covers.
Gives me an original valvecover (crate) look (well they are just that, but painted). I think it would have looked alot cooler with some smooth valvecovers painted like the car with the "Razor" logo painted on by Mr Thrash :cool:

But dont get me wrong, that is just a personal opinion on one detail, still love the car :hail:

I've seen most of their builds in person, and I'll be the first to admit I've been critical of their taste in styling. Taste is subjective, so it's all a matter of opinion and doesn't really matter to anyone but the builder and the buyer.

With that being said, I think this car is their best one yet. The styling changes didn't go overboard, and it seems they respected the original design cues more than they have in the past. There are a few things I wouldn't have done, and some other things that seem overdone, but overall this car has a better blend of form and line than their past efforts.

If it backs all this up with performance, all the better. Congrats to them for a fine job, and congrats to Lat-G for the scoop!

~SP~

subjective maybe.....but its my opinion. Just because you have the resources to machine a ton of stuff doesnt mean you need too. To me the worst part of the reactor was under the hood. Loved the car though.

They have to be driven....YES. Flogged.... well whats flogged. Goodguys making everyone drive there cars is good but it will never be based on who drives theres the hardest.

X 2 whats flogged?

It's all good, Travis. I wasn't trying argumentative. :cheers:

What Ring Brothers car do is make you think and talk about them. Like it or not, your still talking about it and that is what makes their cars so unique. Few will like everything they see on a car, but that is what pushing the edge is about.:thumbsup:

well said

I'm curious to see how the hood and front grill go together? Can't wait to see it in person!!! :thumbsup: Thanks for the pics Scott.

I'm stunned by how creative and modernized that car is. Awesome work guys, can't wait to see it completed.

Where/when is the car scheduled to debut?

I do not dig the rocker work either. The carbon inserts are really cool. It will be fun to see the car run the events in this years SMOY at Columbus!

Darren

Love it, from the color scheme, to the front valance, to the rear. Very nice work, and the engine bay really fits the car. I'm guessing a competitor at Columbus?

Very nice work :thumbsup:
I take back my coments on the yellow 68 :D

Oh yes, I almost forgot about THAT car.
Don't they have a designer now?:rofl:

We gave Mike a ride back to the show on sunday morning after winning the smoy...his head would hardly fit in the car. Two in a row, hate to see it. Mike may have to hire some handlers from the Macy's parade to get him back to Wi. . Great work guys as usual - the beauty is in the details!:thumbsup:
even if your too damn lazy to post your own pictures

ya they do they use Sean Smith...same guy they used for reactor.

Well, these guys are at the top of their game right now in a elite group us mere mortals can look up to. A couple of really nice guys that have done a great job of designing cars, finding the funding, and implementing the final package. Those 3 things are not easy to pull off. And 2 out of 3 just won't due.

Weather you like the style or not, I really like 99% of it, you cannot dispute their quality. Their finishes are some of the best period, best paint contender under the lights of SEMA year after year, killer fab and machine work. I am impressed.

Good looking car, but it's almost to wild, the rocker ext can go, not real crazy about the rear spoiler, not crazy about all the front end stuff. I agree with Travis don't go bling crazy. That car is about to cross the line to a glamour rod.


I'm curious anyone know the colors they used on it? are those real carbon fiber parts or metal parts wrapped in a carbon fiber wrap.

Razor design sketches

Here are some of the design sketches that are for the Ring Brothers and Earve wollers camaro the Razor. So far the car has been a blast to work on and we plan to have a lot of fun with it this show season. I am reading a lot of the feedback and it seems like the car strikes quite an impression..which I think is good..I thank all of you guys for your comments (good and bad). I think if we had a car that struck nothing but postive comments than that means we did not do a car that would shake things up in the industry and try different things. Its been really great working with Mike,Jim and Tod over the past 4 years on there projects. They have a very talented crew which without them the sketch could not be pulled off. I have worked with a lot of fabricators and modelers in the automotive industry but I dont think any hold as much passion and talent than the Ring brothers and there crew. I can also note that even though I am the designer and somewhat consultant for there cars that at the end of the day the main design imput comes from Mike , Jim and what the owner intially wanted as a car. The body mods and over all exterior and interior were sketched by myself..while Bob thrash designed the whole paint scheme,logos and filled in the blanks and added his design imput as well. It was a honor to work with thrash as I have looked up to his work since I was 15. His touch added a great look to the car...Its important to note that we as a team strive to design a car with our own style. We are inspired by German sports cars, machine idustrial componets and an overall hard core look. We are always trying to do something that is different and at the same time keeping with our design language. We are not trying to hide or shave or smooth out the car rather we want to add to the cars original lines and adding functional and cool looking details. Thanks again for all the feed back
See you in Columbus
Sean Smith

Very nice work indeed.:thumbsup:

:drool: Awesome looking Bow Tie.

That is just sick! I love the fact that they were able to come up with so many new things for a car that everyone thought they have seen it all. Obviously not everything is going to match everyone's taste or we would all be driving the same thing, but it is all very tasteful, like it or not. I happen to love it!:hail:

After seeing the build book for Reactor I'm really impressed with the whole crew at Ring Bros. Sean, your design work is awesome and the work Bob did on the camaro is equally impressive, look forward to seeing more of Razor.

It looks like the edges of the fenders have been added onto bringing the whole nose forward and making the grille look deeper...No?:_paranoid

I really like this car.Sure...some could argue the front end being too busy or the lower skirts or the engine but as a package,the craftsmanship,choice of colors,and all the subtle changes while still remaining true to what it is...to me is fantastic.100% fantastic...:yes:

Can you imagine Reactor and Razor sitting side by side in your garage...?:wow:

I guess now I will go out to the garage and set my 69 camaro on fire how do you top that.

Love the car....but look at how clean that shop is! It's the details that make the difference.

You could not have put it any better..........
