    :lol2: Nah, just pulling your leg mate, I have no idea. I think it's called an M12? Pretty sure on that.
    Just a concept car that didn't get the public's attention DC was hoping for is my guess.

    You will just have to keep watching.  You just never know when a concept car will come back or how it will be changed.

    Oh yea, it would look sick in Black. :cooldancing:

    It was called the ME-412.  I forget what the ME stood for, but the 412 was 4 turbos / 12 cylinder engine  I believe it was basically 2 turbos on 2 6 cylinder engines welded together.  I saw it at the Texas State Fair 3 years ago I believe, and it was awe inspiring.  Unfortunately I have not seen anything about it since.

    I say bring it on!  Mopar needs something that can compete with the Chebbie ZR1.  The Viper can't run with that Vette.  ZR1 = 620 HP  in a factory package.    :eek2:    Build it, and make it fast....   :burnout:    :cooldancing:

    The "ME" was for Mid-engine. 

    I agree with Oldschool, the new 'vette is going to school the new Viper unfortunately, and does it with 2 less cylinders...   :eek2:

    But this wouldnt be the car to teach the 'vette a lesson, it isnt even in the same class.   :grinno:
