[BuzzStPoint]

All I can say is wow..

7 million dollars to build..

Fords 2007 Shelby concept car.

[Starr]

oooooo it's shiny........


I like how they say "if they put it in production" they spent 5 million on it and they smacked a name and year on it.

How would you like to be the dude that built the real size clay model of the car only to find out that ford wasn't going to put the car into production.

[mr.monger]

oooo its so shiny O_O

[alvino]

Polished almuinum...no wonder. Watching out for every damn scratch would be a bitch.

[BuzzStPoint]

I'd hate to follow that car on a bright sunny day..

[alvino]

Seriously...when you rush a red light, the cameras can't even catch you because the flash would just blind the cameras :D

[setishock]

If you look real close it has the lines of an old Opel GT.

[lurkswithin]

If you look real close it has the lines of an old Opel GT.
I think it looks more like the lines of a 67 vet except it is rounder at the rear glass and it has a pointy tail.
But I can see the front kind of resembles an opel gt. either way I think it is ugly..A cheap retrofit of two older cars just doesn't do it for me.:(

[jac006]

Wow.... I could use 7 mill. so much more productively... but it is a nice car. You have admit. Just like this one...

Looks like a copy of the austin martin to me.

That ferarri looks good!

[mark thorpe]

i love that silver one... it looks sooo good...

[Kage]

hehe. I'm the only one then that thinks it looks cheap, costing that much or not :p Especially the back with that weird curve that doesn't seem to match.... ouch... I was going to say the lights but I looked again and rather liked them. Though if it wasn't as shiny that you could see everything else. I think i'd like it. But it reminds me too much of a car thats out now, just shiny...er...

Reminds me a bit of those air balloon remote controlled things, with that metallic material on it, doesn't it? :p...

I do like that ferrari though. Would rather have one of them to tell the truth :p

[BuzzStPoint]

Yeah but Polished metal wont work.

Look back in 84, A guy cam out with a radical design and a stainless steel body.. The Delorean
Big flop in my book. But they're are a rare and high looked for car.

[Kage]

Yeah, I love the car in Back To The Future. because of that film, I like the car. I wouldn't of liked it wthout that though :p

[Nik00117]

O thats nothing companies have spent milions of research when the avg joe would of told them the same answer for a 20. Like the time Mcd's felt like finding a target audience and spent 2 mill researching it. BUt yea that car looks sweet :) i'ms ure it wouldn't be the shinny. They'll put a paintjob on it.

[Kage]

Just read this from that site:

"liquid cooled LED headlights"

What the heck?!! hehe

[shouup]

that is one ugly mutha

[Kage]

which? :p

If you haven't seen the Back To The Future films, you wouldn't understand... :(

[~mr mixx~]

haha, damn..2007 series w/all chrome, that could'nt be legal cuz of sun glare in other passenger cars, but none the less bad asre ride.

I love the style of the delorean though, it reminds me of the way the doors open up on the Lamborgini Countach. The Lamborgini is my favorite ride of all time.

[Kage]

Yeah, I like the way they open too, gull wings there called aren't they?

[shouup]

which? :p

If you haven't seen the Back To The Future films, you wouldn't understand... :(

Who hasnt seen that movie? I have seen it many o' times, doesnt mean i have to like an ugly car.

[Kage]

hehe, its a lovely classic!!!

repeat tis over and over:

its a great classic, its not ugly, its lovely,
its a great classic, its not ugly, its lovely,
its a great classic, its not ugly, its lovely,

you'll soon think it :p

[BuzzStPoint]

The car In Back to the Future IS ugly> with all the crud they put on it..

The orginal is a nice looking car.. And yes those are called Gull Wing doors.

[Kage]

Thought so :p Thye look really fancy! Though in the morning when your tired, I guess you have to watch out... plus if your near a car when your parking...ouch lol

[shouup]

i guess if you dented it you might not notice though...another upside to the car

[99nasha]

How can you say that its ugly!

[Kage]

Were talking about the Delorian, the car from Back To The Future, and it isn't :p

I just don't like the utter shininess of that... and the back of it has a horrible curve

[mark thorpe]

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/99nasha/ShelbyGR1f.jpg

How can you say that its ugly!

that is one beautiful car :D id have one of those any day... lol

[Techy Geek]

How can you say that its ugly!

damn right, its a beautiful machine. I want one, although it'd be probs too shiny, blind the other road users. But I wouldn't care, not my problem. If I found $200,000 on the street, I'd buy that (which is stupid because I'm too young to drive, and by the time I am it'd probably look rubbish. I bet scratches look awful on it, for a few weeks you'd look like the bees knees, until you scratched it on a kerb or fence or something like that

[jac006]

Dude...

[Wombät]

Very nice jac006... :p

[alvino]

which? :p

If you haven't seen the Back To The Future films, you wouldn't understand... :(

Yeah, the DeLorean DMC 12 was a pretty spiffy car. Too bad the market wasn't ready for such a car. Becides, the stainless steel body is be such a pain to clean.

[BuzzStPoint]

wow.... That black car is what I want in my collection..

I want it, I need it, I got to have it!!!

[jac006]

http://bellauto.turboblog.fr/photos/uncategorized/peugeot_206_rc_2_4.jpg
its a sweet car.....

[Kage]

I dont know why, but i hate cars that have a sudden drop in design...with tht one its the slanted front and back... ouch lol....sorry...the rest of it is nice though

[alvino]

This is the beauty that I really want:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v680/LiLaZnPoOhEaD/MazdaRX-8MazdaSpeedEdition.jpg

[shouup]

personally, i want a lingenfelter z06 vette with the 427 TT conversion. The only thing not stock apearing (exterior wise) is the rear tires are 1" wider then stock. That and it runs 9's.

[alvino]

Nice :D

[jac006]

http://img110.echo.cx/img110/6043/trdcelica0ww.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
Yeah... there you go.
Shouup, is this what you are talking about?

[mfarley]

I'm pretty much a fan of just about anything Shelby comes up with, and this is no exception. Sleek, great lines, but no where near 7mil.

[shouup]

thats a c6, i want the 03 z06 with the 427 TT package

[alvino]

He means the C5 Vettes'...those ones are cool, but the pop-up headlights ruin the aerodynamic efficiency of the car (good thing the C6 has integrated ones).

[Kage]

I like pop up headlights though, they just look futuristic and kewl when you pop them up!
I understand how they could affect the airflow though...
