  1. Thank You George, and proud to do so at that! Beleive it or not, Not only is the 5th American made vehicle I've owned, but it's the third one I've owned that was built in that same Sterling Heights, Michigan plant too! Here's the last two I've owned that were built in that plant Thanks Ron, so far I love the car and the mileage could be around 10mpg better than my XJ gets too if what I got on the drive home from the dealer is any indication Tell her to take a 200 for a drive if she gets the chance, there is torque steer with the V-6, but nothing worse than what my Lebaron GTS ever threw at me.....and that thing could get down right EVIL if it felt like it
  2. I finally did it today guys.....and now I won't able to do much else for a while! Boy is that V-6 strong too!
  3. Not going to buying models or rc stuff for a long, looooooong time now......................
  4. Well, here's my two..........yes you read that right
  5. IIRC, Yes they did, those pieces should be for the slats in the hood and were supposedly pretty fiddlie from what I read back then.
  6. I'm just waiting on my refund so I can buy a new daily driver with it
  7. Lol, I actually have that one saved to my Photobucket
  8. I generally prefer mechanical linkages between me and the vehicle, but with everything going over to drive by wire, pushbutton controls for the trans does kinda makes sense in grocery getters and maybe a couple flappy paddles for the sporty models would be possible. On the Chrysler Minivans for example, the pushbutton/flappy paddle set up is something I would prefe over that stupid dash mounted console style shifter. In something like a Jeep or pick up (4wd in particular) I don't want a computer deciding how many drive wheels I have to use, which gear ratio I use, and frankly, a solid mechanical link between me and engine/trans/transfer case.
  9. Lol, just found out my kid sister (who drives an '06 Charger SE) has put the Viper up on her Facebook page
  10. I think SRT is meant to be like AMG and SVT, more of a tuning outfit within the company rather than a stand alone brand.
  11. Wasn't it meant to be a modern Shelby Cobra when the concept first hit 22-23 years ago (I know, it has been that long O_o ), although I'd guess that idea of a simple, minimalist, brute is lost on some.........................
  12. I think it would look incredable in Chrysler Crystal Black (similar to Testors One Coat Metallic Black) if they were to paint it that color.
  13. They did for a couple years because they had gone bankrupt, I think Cerberus or Mercedes may have wanted it dead too.
  14. Good to hear others saw a little Ferarri in it, thought I had been imagining things.
  15. You're right Harry, that does look gooooooooood! I hope it will be available in styrene and lexan soon.
  16. I love it, they kept the styling close enough to the last two gens so that it screams VIPER!!!!!!!, yet is more evolved in appearance. Wonder if it still has some evil tendancies too though.......
  17. No, I was looking at my YouTube updates at lunch and noticed that Dodge had just put that up, if I wanted to with the 200, it is techinally possible But it is possible with the Jeep too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE8xHEnKFKk So, wonder how soon one will be photoshopped up like the General Lee
  18. Looks like they're already starting to try and get it into racing Dear Proline Racing, please oh please offer this body for the Traxxas Rally chassis...............
  19. Looks like it so far Nick, We've already had the mower out!
  20. Only 3 days?! Even more impressive, who's paint did you use?
  21. Probably the '32 Ford, '57 Chevy, followed by the General Lee.......although I think Revell is trying to catch uo with the '05-'11 Mustang too
  22. Interesting concept Bob.
  23. That looks amazing Rom!
  24. Is that bagged, juiced, or did the springs finally give up?
