If Homer Simpson can build his version of a car, we should be able to.

Once complete, we need someone with photoshop / CAD skills to render it.

Remember: we aren’t building the fastest car. We are building our most desirable car.

Engine: LS9
Chassis: Panther
Roof: convertible
Transmission: 6spd Manual.
Body: Tail fins and big chrome grill.
Windows must have window vents

Engine: RB26 DETT

Chassis: whatever

Roof: wagon with a sunroof

Transmission: 6MT

Body: sleek, yet somewhat understated

no window vent? no bench seat? :P I like it.

GM will build it for us the 12th of never

Oh shit. We’re keeping the bench seat. I just need it covered in connolly leather.

YES!

Spare tire shall be mounted on passenger side near front wheel.

Rear shall have a chest for all the picnic shit wife needs.

I have not yet decided on 8 track. I’ve never heard it so I don’t know how good it really is

Engine: LS7

Chassis: Alpha

Roof: Hardtop, sunroof

Transmission: 6-Manual

Body: 4-door ute

Drive: Rear or AWD

Misc: MRC, leather-bolster cloth sport seats, lime green or burnt orange

...

But in reality I’d just drop an LS7/T56 Magnum into a ‘93 S10.

This exterior

This interior

6 wheel drive of course...and those wheels somehow driven by two of these:

Perfect! Will there be an AWD wagon version, in brown, that I can buy for $2,500 in 5 years?

Is it all in one car that already exists?

Mercedes Streeter > PartyPooper2012 06/28/2017 at 11:35

Yep!

- The body comes from the custom limo smart (IIRC a Russian firm built it).

- The interior from a Maybach Mercedes.

- Two engines from Chrysler Turbine Cars.

Engine: LS9TT (that would be blown and twin turbos)

Chassis: Zeta (with input from Pratt & Miller)

Roof: Coupe (carbon fiber)

Transmission: 7 speed transaxle (Tremec TR-6070)

Body: Coupe 60, but more like a Coupe 60.R

Interior: Like a 2+2 Z06 with hints of Cadillac and built in FIA certified roll cage

Basically the ultimate GT racer

A bit too boxy for my liking. More like a modern take on a Stagea.

Nah, boy. It’d be a Miata Shooting Brake.

Never, but I will tease you with that exact product offering for decades, only to release them overseas.

Funny no one wants to build an autonomous car... or automatic.... or lane sensing, smart cruise controlling car.

Take that Googles/Apples/Teslas of the world. We don’t want it

i always get a kick out of seeing conservation stickers, and fuel efficient cars. i just keep thinking..... “great, more for the REST of us”....... “glad i got to use it up before it was all gone”......

The manufacturer of me only issues me one life to live. Pretty brief too. No incentive given to keep this planet in any decent shape after my visit.

I see it like a rental. Use it. Abuse it. Scram.

FYI, someone just blew a head gasket reading the above. Long hair. Hugs trees.

Make sure you clean it well. Cops don’t buy the “It’s not mine” excuses anymore.

Awesome! That way we can continue to look longingly at pictures of them, and whine ad nauseum.

Hmm, I’ll need more time to hammer out the details, but I know this much.

Engine: R-4360 wasp major

Chassis: you try finding something factory made for that engine

Body: REO pickup along these lines with mild chop maybe old heavy duty truck is more realistic

Or

The fuel tank on the second might even be big enough to pass a gas station without stopping.

28 cylinder??? Good luck with that 18 wheeler for a gas tank

Kiltedpadre > PartyPooper2012 06/28/2017 at 15:35

That’s why I chose a tanker as the second body option. I figure 2000 gallons should get me to the nearest cars and coffee with one hour long fuel stop on the way home. The credit card cut-off at $75 at the last gas station is going to suck though.

The other option is to set it up to run on 14 cylinders. Where’s the fun in that though?

Give me 28 cylinders or give me death. I think that’s the Texas slogan on license plates.

I mean I did somewhat restrain myself. The XR-7755, 36 cylinder was another possibility.

Too Many Cylinders
