That would be nice next to a Duke Boy's General Lee in the ol' garage. The video really helped out . I love that exhaust.

Okay, I just spent the last four hours drooling over this car.
You know, the Tony Stewart thing.
Would you believe I started one of these, but I have run out of money. (got married)
Maybe someday.

Interesting, I guess, but I would feel like a total dork driving a fake race car on the street.

I'd own it. heck, I'd drive it too, right?
Sure I would.....and I'd be the coolest dork in town. :)

Picture, if you will, Rolling up to a stop light and the guy next to you starts laughing.
You get the pleasure of seeing the color drain from his face as you toggle the exhaust-dump. His car begins to vibrate as you slowly press that long & skinny pedal....

Yeah.....I'd be that dork any day. :thumbsup:

I'd be a dork if like others I had a pocket full of dough. I would not even care if it was a Dodge or Plymouth. That is a sweet car. I would even drive a rusty 69 charger and go to extremes to drive a 68 plymouth painted panther pink. Those old Mopars are becoming rare. My Favorite, Super Bee would take the cake but I haven't won the Lotto yet. David....heavy on the Super B and Bill Hall's sig...........Dorman

Hey, if it had the real deal 426 Hemi dual quad under the hood, well then maybe I'd think about going with the full mental jacket dork-out, don my racing firesuit pajamas, install some big fat cup holders to accommodate Big Gulp sized sweet teas, slam a Skynyrd 8-track in the tape deck, and if anyone asks me, claim to be Richard Petty's illegitimate love child from an early 70s fling with Priscilla Presley.

If you want something more modern and much closer to the real thing, and can live with the giggles and strange stares, why not go for a COT?

Fat chick riding a bike...ok...if thats what ya like.

Dunno bout the rest, but it kinda looks like they just plopped the tail module in and called 'er good. A graft gone awry. Sadly a little more fitment work there, to drop the butt into a more appealing depth might have helped. The odd cut line on the two tone doesnt help the cause much either.

Is it me, or have automotive designers just given up? Put the CAD programs away, sharpen up yer pencil, and impress me fer cripes sake. Reprises, upgrades, and morphs of previous designs only proves that they aint got nuthin' left in the tank.

To my eye, this design is forced and overlooks the beautifully stretched, carefully angled lineal beauty of the original it was meant to mimic.

I hear Briggs and stratton is hiring if they really need a day job.
