"Right then, all you critical bunch. You want a 2+2 V8 Cerbera replacement do you? So what do you want it to look like?" :idea:

I was thinking last night about how I would really like a Cerbie replacement to look :cloud9:, and got myself mentally tied up in knots! :confused: Wasn't really too sure that we could get THAT much better, so what do you think? :headache:

Paintshop pics appreciated, of course!;)

Must admit I quite like this modern interpretation:



Subtle updating and cleaning up.

Why not use a Cerby body, chassis and all the running gear and stick an AJP V8 in it ?

How can I forget, the photoshop genius is in da house!

Bud, you will be one of the first to see the body when she's out and primered up.... You will be more than shocked... not a single part left untouched, even the roof!...

Hes had a cat flap installed, so his pony-tail has somewhere to flap in the wind!

So the 1000bhp+ Cerbera that is pretty much a completely different car under the body, isnt even a Cerbera in body style?? bah, feel im going to be disappointed at the outcome.

BCA, trust me, its what a Cerbera GT should have looked like in the first place, a feckin beast!

I do miss the elegant lines of the cerbie, but Allan has gone all out and designed in conjuction with myself a body that will bring the CD (drag co-eff) right down!...

Thing is, you have to remember, I'm not building a bench racer, I REALLY want to break records!!!! and complete redevelopment had to be done to achieve this, otherwise 200+ and the car would have probably launched into orbit if the body wasnt severely modified or even cooked under 28 pounds of boost giving off all the heat...

You will like it, just trust me! Its not a max-power kit, its a complete redesign... all flowing... 2 feet wider on the rear!...

I knew it! I just knew it!....

....that pony-tail had to be hair extensions and therefore easy to unclip....

I feel for you man, so rather than wait for a kojak to settle in, a preventative rebuild is in order, I'll email you my hair-extensions private house-call thai masseuress, she guarantees to extend your hairs to infinite dimensions....
