AAW! Their sooooo CCCuuuute! Those little Q cars remind me of the old German Messerschmitt car.


The front car is actually a Toyota Celica. Notice the "Bull" Logo in front of the car.
I always saw that as a shoguns helmet.


Bull, Shogun....who cares?

Okay, bow down to the real mother of all street-legal cars... 0-60 in under 4 seconds... a quarter mile in the 11's... a price around/under $70K... needless to say, it eats rice for breakfast, snakes for lunch and Italian sausage for dinner. Shocked

Quarter Mile in 11? I've seen some Modded Street Legal Old-School Corollas shatter 9's just like that. And with only maybe 1/4th of what a Vette would cost new.

Hell, I know one guy that has a Modded BMW 525i. $5,000 in Mods, can do the Quarter in 10 Flat.

Yeah, but how is the power curve? Is it a car that you can drive to work daily without fear of breaking something?

Bimmer Guy, yep. Corollas, I know one has a Supra Motor Mod, can be street driven.

Okay, but I still stand by what I think, that the upcoming Corvette C6 Z06 is going to be one of the greatest driver cars ever made. Why wait for the Skyline when you can get this red-white-and-blue-unabashedly-American-and-proud-of-it 500 horsepower, tire-smokin' American institution? Wink

Yeah. Wait until you see what Roush and Saleen did with the '05 fastback. Shocked

Looks like an updated '68 retro. Apart from the original 64/65, the 68 model was my favourite. Wink

Yeah, that was the designer's original intentions on both models. They figured that if the '05 had strong styling cues from the original fastback, then they should complete the link. Wink
And if you think that's great, check out this sketch for the Cervinis Eleanor kit (yes, it's named after the 'Stang from Gone In 60 Seconds). Wink

"Eleanor" is a travesty to Mustangs. Chip Foose should be shot for what he designed.

Any car with the paint color "Go ManGo!" (Get it? Mango?) is cool in my book. Presenting the 2006 Dodge Charger Daytona.
