Guess what website I've been on tonight:lol::rolleyes:.

Other than the mirrors, I really like it. I guess GM plans on having it ready for the first quarter of '09, so if you must, start saving now:greedy:.
Dodge should have put some more thought into the Charger. Four doors?! C'mon:rolleyes: This Camaro kicks it's *** just on looks alone.

I've read about the new Camaro concept a few weeks ago. It looks great, with the exception of the front. Every time I look at it, I feel the headlights are missing or have fallen out :wonder:

Of course the back is very sexy, but doesn't the car have some similarities in shape to the Chrysler Firepower Concept (http://www.worldracingforum.com/showthread.php?t=1401). Add to that sharp Cadillac edges and it adds up nicely :lol:

So '09 Camaro, C6 Vette, or New Charger?

If you recall the early Camaro, it had a version, RS or SS, I can't remember which, the headlights were in fact 'hidden' within the grill.

So '09 Camaro, C6 Vette, or New Charger?

If they made the Charger with 2 doors vs. the silly, albeit useful 4 doors, that would make the decision much harder. I can't go for that one simply on that basis.

So that leaves the Chevys. Hmmm. I'd probably have to go with the 'Vette. But it is still a tough call. The cockpit and chassis of the Vette is far superior for a performance car.

When I sell the ex's car (that is really mine) I'd love to sell the truck too and go buy a used C6. Maybe a nice red F430 F1 instead.

Here's one for you Salty. It's a Canadian Supercar (ya that's what I said too!!) called the Locus Plethore.

That is pretty sweet! Although I agree with you, the lines and overall shape of the Koenigsegg CCX are much more intriguing. Do you know where they make the Plethore?

Not a clue. The web site is down (under construction) so I can't really find much on it.

"More comfortable than what? Being stabbed?" :lol:

Jeremy cracks me up!

Amazing that that little wing could have that much effect. What a snotty machine:eek:. It kind of reminds me of the old 500cc 2 stroke GP bikes in the manner of how unruly they were. Yeah I know that relate is a bit of a stretch.

I liked the way they added the wing. It was molded in nicely not just slapping a wing on for the show. That may be avail. on the production model. It's a little beast huh? Love it.

I've read about the Plethore before, and the design is very attractive. If you feel the Lamborghini is too edgy in its shape, then the Plethore would be a way to go.

The company that builds these supercars, HHT Locus Technologies, is based at St.Eustache Raceway, Montreal.

I would go with the Koenigsegg CCX myself :lol:

Has anyone seen the Dodge Demon concept. They're calling it a mini viper. Ok boss.


Oh ya, I just remembered the other car I love. The 2005 Caddy CTS-V. Especially in race trim.

It's a GM car so it's relevant. Right?? And FYI, Caddy CTS-V = whoop a**!!

Technically yes, but it is a stretch. Now scram! Go talk about your granny-mobiles somewhere else.
