It's not that it's annoying, it's just it wouldn't normally get in this thread as it's implied rather than actually spelling anything. S7 ARK would be the nearest best available I would suggest. Loving the van paintjob though, shame not a big enough bonnet to roll over it though when making a quick getaway smile
Surely that would be more appropriate for an Iron Man fanatic.
That's a good point, and with a Marvel obsessed teenager I'm surprised I didn't think of that myself

That's going to give it some 'get-up-'n'-go'. Looks very nicely done too.

Coincidentally, this popped up this morning on a forum I frequent....

https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a34599192/dodge-...

This being a relatively simple drop-in for Scat Packs and Hellcats (assuming some trans, drive/half-shaft and diff upgrades) for less than $25k.

Great for the traffic light drag race.... Not so much in any twisty bits.

You'll either love it or hate it ... I love the rims lol

- minus the stickers:






Also the Bangle BMW M6, awkward car but looks more pleasing to the eye with a Vorsteiner Bootlid:

Agree with you on the Lupo (minus the stickers too) as a bit of fun with a cheap car.

Disagree on the M6 as to me looks like someone has grafted on an old 911 ducktail boot and looks totally wrong.

Each to their own of course.

The fact that they couldn't (or wouldn't?) colourmatch the bootlid to the rest of the car doesn't help very much either.

Hard to tell if there's any weave in the picture, but the Vorsteiner bootlid might be bare carbon fibre?

Yup, its a CF bootlid, but I would agree that I'd rather it match the body colour.

There's only one in the world, but I've seen it in person at the Corvette Museum in KY.

One-off prototype C4 with a 600hp all aluminum 12 cylinder engine based on the 5.7L Chevy V8, which was already in production for racing powerboats. The engine compartment is stretched 8 inches to fit.

So much late 80s cool with the gold BBS wheels...and just look at the engine.

They've not done THAT much to it, unless I'm missing something fundamental?

Awesome thing, don't get me wrong, but the end result isn't anything particularly special, is it?
There's a fair bit gone into it, more than it looks, plus the inherent cost of doing it in the first place - how many people are willing to cut into a Carrera GT to fit air jacks for example?
