The exterior of the Gullwing is truly Epic. Nicer lines does not exist. :DQuote:

That will wreck the market value of the original Gullwing.

I'd probably tone it down just a bit (tires/wheels first)....and that's the exact color combo of my '85 325e...so I'd use a different one :p:
My brother has a small model of that car :) Had it for years. Its a neat lookin thing.Quote:

A small model... not the car itself. Its a little scale model about the size of a TI-84 Calculator (somewhat bigger) in foot print, made out of metal... With operating doors, etc etc. He also has a model jaguar, porsche, vette...
But they're just models.
Speaking of models, I have the lovely discontinued 1998 Panoz GTR-1 by AutoArt :DQuote:

These two silver babies are for sale out in California. Been eyeing them for three months now. Extremely tempting !!
Both cars are in Silver and are not in showroom condition. Make no mistake. These are fakes, albeit costing more like a SLR McLaren than some Chevy Lamborghini.
Both cars have been "Bastardized" (sorry moderators, but that's a term that is used in my circles) with W124 300E engines. 5 Speed gearboxes rofl.
I am partial to the red interior, although the black interior would be unique on a silver car.
They are drivable models and meant for enjoyment. They won't be able to compete in any concours. One look under the hood and the judges will laugh their asses off.
But it's all for fun. A model with the original 300SL engine would cost over $800K and a mint one would cost $2 million.

VW Tuareg with TDI V10. Or the range Rover V8 turbo D.

At first I thought, good... GM is getting some marketing out. But then I saw that it was the 50 Cent whatever Tuners version with that stupid black stripe and rims that are way too big.
First major exposure to the public outside of car shows and as usual it looks like its going to end up drawing the hip hop crowd.... So much for a classy display, now its gonna be a pimp mobile.

I like the impala...but on air suspension :yepp:
?? what? Z06? That car was quicker than the Mclaren F1. Which was the fastest street legal car. I don't see where you get that, compared specs and the Z06 is way off...Now Z06 aftermarket I understand. But you can pretty much add to alot of cars that improve them even over stock super cars, my car is an example.Quote:

I wouldn't want that car, from the sounds of it they cant even build a proper working unit. So far they have had the accelerator stick more then twice, a wheel fall off and the floor fell off during the topgear review.
