    New Hotwheels Copper SRT Coupe & Chrysler Fire Power Concept

    I painted them black. Also the underside of the car, which was grey as I recall. The wheels also come in silver.

    New Hotwheels Copper SRT Coupe & Chrysler Fire Power Concept

    Picked mine up last week. Blue coupe though. Didn't quite care for the gold wheels on mine (which are apparently more limited production). The Firepower's quite a nice model.

    FORGET WHAT YOU HEARD ABOUT THE FORD GT!!!!!!

    If it's the Motor Trend car you're wondering about, yes, it hit 200 mph (and could've gone even faster with a better track): Looks like @ around 195, it pulls a bit harder than CGT (but, dang, look how steep the Enzo's acceleration curve is at 200-210 :eek: ; guess Ferrari wasn't messing...

    FORGET WHAT YOU HEARD ABOUT THE FORD GT!!!!!!

    Pretty strange results, this test. Very quick 0-100 time for the CGT, but 1.0 second slower for the SLR? Here's another head-to-head test in which they're dead even to 100 kmh and 200 kmh (granted, that's 124 mph, but still...), and the SLR pretty much having its way with the CGT to 300 kmh...

    Snake on the prowl in the UK

    Viper? No. Dodge SRT-10. :rolleyes: AUTOCAR: It's lost its serpentine name, but is Dodge's SRT-10 any less venemous? 'Funnily enough,' writes Steve Cropley of Dodge's reinvented Viper, 'I found myself thinking of this as a massively powerful, hugely updated big Healey.' However, not in...

    New VCC by AutoArt

    Dayam, that's sweet. :eek: But maybe needs something for that extra sparkle. (No, not the men's soccer team. ;) )

    New VCC by AutoArt

    I don't think it's out yet. Usually a few months passes between the time an announcement is made and when they're actually on the market. For example, about a month ago, they announced they'd release an '05 Mustang. This won't be available until February of next year. So I'm guessing the VCC...

    New VCC by AutoArt

    Don't have a price yet. But it should be around $60 retail. AutoArt part no. is 80520. It looks like they will be offering it in other scales besides 1/18: 1/64 1/43 1/32 1/24 The 1/32 scale is from their line of slot cars. 1/32 and 1/24 scale each show two different part numbers, so may...

    Good article in Speed!!

    Here's the lap chart. Sorry, don't have the rest of the article online. Credit goes to Stan on the Lotus forum for this one. http://cakili.image.pbase.com/image/35620406/original.jpg Elise was on the Yokohama A048 rubber, as part of the optional sport package. The Lotus was rated higher...

    SRT on BBC Top Gear

    I take it you dream of the bottom option? Must say, though, that the Caterham, with its exposed bolt/screw heads littered throughout the cabin exudes go-kart chic. Very classy. Just the thing for picking up the grade school chicks (looks like we know where Autostream likes to hang out). And...

    GTSR Concept

    Don't know about last year, but it was definitely in SF in late November of '02.

    SRT on BBC Top Gear

    I'm looking at their site and it says: "MSRP $29,950.00 (Price for complete KIT - less engine & transmission.)" WTF? We're going to compare an SRT-10 against a car w/o an engine and transmission? Haha! Viper wins again. Well, actually a kid on a scooter beats the Caterham, but you...

    SRT on BBC Top Gear

    Costing 1/3rd as much? Sorry. C&D recently tested the Caterham 7 and it was $50K. Since when does a Viper cost $150K?? Yeah, the Caterham on R-compound type tires is barely quicker than a Viper on 220 treadwear runflats around a track. The Viper is easily 95% as fast as the Caterham on...

    dirk989: Point taken about arguing with the "mentally challenged child." That term has come to mind repeatedly when talking with Autostream. However, I refrained from using it, as that would be insulting to mentally challenged children. Autostream: LOL, you talk about the Viper being rude...

    And I posted for you to show me any (ANY) road test by Motor Trend of a production gen1 RT/10 that weighs 3300 lbs. I also posted a link to MT's test of the RT/10 in which they cite the weight as over 3400 lbs. I also posted the content of that R&T article on the SRT-10 in which they said...

    SRT on BBC Top Gear

    If you knew it already, then why would you continue to insist that the SRT-10 weighs more than the old car? You need to think about what to post before you post it. It's apparently a novel concept to you, but don't knock it until you try it. I never said you said that. ;) But, you did fail...

    Quite right. Autostream, you need to read a little better. Or at least lose the tunnel vision that makes you so confident that you know more than anyone else. BMW is not a tire manufacturer. Last I heard, they build automobiles, and have tires supplied to them. Go ahead and try to dispute...

    I didn't find this one by google: http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/magazine_articles/Motor_Trend_article02.14.jpg Nor do I need google to find the curb weights for the Vipers by C&D and R&T. The actual print articles right in front of me seem to be sufficient. Not too bright...

    Really? "A driver will find the XLR, with its 18-inch, Michelin run-flat tires, to be a well-mannered, responsive car that's easy to drive in city traffic, too. These run flats, by the way, are standard because trunk space that might be used for a spare tire in a regular car is used here...
