LAEKOI

of your build, it requires some tinkering. Chasing a unique exhaust note with a “beefy” tone, pun absolutely intended, led Clanton to combine an Akropovic exhaust with dual Varex mufflers. Of course, the noises this machine makes aren’t strictly because of its cool exhaust. With forged internals, an RR Racing Motorsports carbon fiber intake, and a Zex Nitrous 200 shot for that extra little jam, the RC F puts down a respectable 740 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels. Did you think this was all show and no go?

Despite winning countless awards, representing Team Hybrid both nationally and internationally, and continuing to leave show-goers in awe with his build, Clanton says his RC F is still a long way from being completed. He promises more mind-blowing custom work in the near future, so we’ll be watching intently to see what comes next. Rest assured, whatever he does next isn’t coming off the shelf.
