    The stealth isn't working, because I can still see it. Unfortunately.

    I saw it a few days ago. Can't say that I'm a fan. Looks like something OCC would do.

    "both the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger under these Galpin creations have been ruined"

    That quote from the article says it all.  Emphasis on ruined! :faint:

    Here's another article on it.

    I kinda like it.  :)  I don't know if I would want to drive around in it, but it would look oh soooo cool in a movie, like Mad Max meets Death Race, IMO.  :grinyes:

    I like it.  But I am not purist.  Customs just get me worked up! 

    I would definitely drive it around.

    A little radar absorbing paint, ECM to fake out hostiles, but where are the hard points for the armaments?

    I kind've like it but the things that I would change are (in order of importance)

    1. wheels - what were they thinking?
    2. winged doors - I know it fits the Air Force theme but its just not right on an ebody
    3. roof strakes and video camera - need I say more?

    I would agree that I would not have gone with the wheels.

    The camera is kind of cool if it is what I think it is.

    The doors are ok for what it is.

    I think that the car definitely needs the T/A hood.  That hood looks authentic.
    Wheels are a little weird.
    Ass looks a little heavy.

    Cool car though. 
    I wonder how far the laser guided gps missles will travel. 
    Clear out some bad traffic for sure!

    Inside is definitely a departure fromn the Challenger we all know and love. I wonder if you can pull back on the yoke and raise the spoiler?
