A car that needs no introduction, Andrew 'The Dentist' Maratos' legendary RX3 is our 'Car Of the Month' for March
The real-deal, TRUE STREET weapon in every sense of the word, this car is the quickest 2-rotor street car in the world with a 7.91@175 timeslip under its belt in 'full street trim, weighing in at a hefty 3000lbs - that's full leather show interior, big stereo with subwoofer, power windows, full exhaust, all steel panels & glass and 2 boxes of sound deadener thrown in for good measure... And then, to add to that, the car was and is always driven to and from the track, as per George's 'street car' rules, to further prove it's worth and gain it the title of 'THE BOSS'
While she looks like she's just rolled off the Pac production floor, she's far from a spring chicken, having been built from the ground-up 14 years ago - a true testament to the quality of the build process and those that were involved in the process!
From the stand-out blue exterior by the team at Queen Street Group that to this day still blows people away, to the amazing interior by G-Trim, this car still turns heads like the brand new builds we're producing today, proving that if it's done right from the start, a car can truly become timeless!
Could we lighten the car up and run faster? Most certainly however, this is exactly how Andrew wanted the car to be - a genuine TRUE STREET car, so that's the way it's going to stay. Cruise on the street in comfort with all the mod cons, then simply slip on the race suit, bolt up the parachute and go have some fun
Really, what more could you want???
