Solved Dream Car

[AlexT2889]

That Charger concept looks nice...I wish the one they came out with had looked like that....

They could easily modify the front and rear of the Challenger to match the "retro" Charger but they won't since they did half-ass job on the Challenger in first place. A tuning company is in the process of converting a 2008 Challenger into a Plymouth Barracuda, but the project seems to have fallen off the map lately...been a year since the last update.

Plus you won't be seeing newer cars with sharp block front ends anymore because of the LAME RETARDED European Union safety standards they implemented a few years back where every car sold/made in Europe has to have a "bulge" on the front with a raised hood to "protect" pedestrians that hit the car...what is it? people in Europe never heard of COMMON SENSE?! look both ways before you cross the road! *bangs head*, now for all you unintelligent European "pedestrians" have permanently destroyed automotive design.

They won't be making the RoadRunner since Plymouth died 9 years ago. That's a artist rendering from 2 years ago.

It may be fast, but nothing beats the McLaren F1, even that car beats the Bugatti in a straight line and it's 15 years old now. The Bugatti is nothing but a "I've got money! look at me!" since the McLaren is a pure car enthusiast automobile. The name "Bugatti" has no relations to the original Bugattis of the 20's though, since it's been revived many times in the past and the last "real" Bugatti sports car was the EB110 of the early 90's.

My dad's former boss had a 2005 Ford GT(40), he let my dad clean it all the time since he's a professional automotive detailer, though one bad thing about the car is that it's aluminum. One day while sitting in the garage when my dad went out to get something, a gust of wind took a step ladder from maybe 10 feet away and blew it over and fell on the engine compartment with a big dent, the boss didn't get mad or anything since it wasn't my dads fault. But the car had to be shipped to Michigan (from Maryland) where Saleen repaired the entire engine cover over a dent.

I like that Camaro - the 'Cuda won't be made.

How could I forget a Ford GT?

Lol - Alex knows his cars - and he's right about the last of the EB100s. Bugatti has seen more play then a NY pro....

Hey, the car ain't made to be crashed lol. If you can afford it in the first place, insurance you can afford as well.

Did he let your dad drive it to detail it?

 

[sergiogarcia9]

Wouldnt mind having a Saleen either :huh:

The 'Cuda will be "made" though the "project" has been "dead" for a year now or so, there were pictures of the tuning company designing and building specially made components to convert a Dodge Challenger into a 'Cuda. I don't know anything else about it now since no new updates. Several pieces of the car had been converted already like headlights, grille, hood and side stickers on rear panel.

Yep, I know my cars haha, all thanks to my dad and a certain video game: Gran Turismo for Playstation and a automovite site: www.thecarlounge.net where my father has been a member since 1997.

My dad did drive the GT, I even got to ride in it with my dad and went to maybe 160mph on a country back road, it was amazing .
Here are several photos I took with my T-Mobile Sidekick II phone:

That is me in the drivers seat, I am 6'5, yes I have to duck my head when closing the door but once its closed, I have plenty of headroom left to be comfortable

Nice Car! what kinda engine does it have?

 

[AlexT2889]

I would love to have a AMC AMX Coupe

A "modernized" AMC GremlinX hatchback (If Chrysler had the guts to revive several AMC names since they own the rights).

a 1970 Ford Pinto (My dad had the exact same model year (first year) same color as the photo below without the front splitter with painted black grille, blacked out headlight bowls, a some good looking wheels. Apart from popular beliefs, the Pinto was NOT a piece of ****, the mainstream media blew the gas tank thingy out of proportions and hurt Ford because of it. In reality it was a SMALL problem. But I do tell you this, the first few years of the Pinto were GREAT cars, but later model years were piece of crap.

It's a rebuilt long block VW with a modified cam

Nice My brother has a beach buggy (He Has built it himself, took a while) also with a vw engine
here's a pic of it

Looks more like a 70's 80's Porsche engine , the only thing giving it away is the belt being exposed as a Beetle engine.

My thoughts were that with Chrysler not finding any venture capital that they would cease production on the Challengers - meaning the company would need to buy one aftermarket from a private owner to make the modifications...

of course, I didn't think about the fact that owners can pay the company to make the mods on their own cars....

Might be time to go looking for a Challenger

 

[AlexT2889]

I think Chrysler should just drop "Chrysler" and rebrand it entirely as "AMC" (American Motor Company), since they bought AMC in mid 80's. I believe it'll help their image better as a "American" company. Just my opinion.

OR, keep "Chrysler" but use that as a "company" name sorta like General Motors, which itself don't make cars but individual brands. But use "AMC", Dodge and Jeep as "Chryslers" core brands. Hope I make sense.

I'm quite happy with my SKY.

Me too Sanitykills;
This IS my dream car.
