It looks old-school American, but it's actually Australian. Powered by a supercharged 6.0L LS2 V8 from Holden's GM parent, this car makes 645 hp and 560 ft-lbs. Like any self-respecting hot rod, it's rear-wheel-drive.
Is it cool?

For me, it's frozen as frozen can be. Whether you're a hot rod guy or not, it's hard for me to imagine not being impressed by this.

Cool but it is a good thing that it didn't hit production or it would end up like the Plymouth Prowler.

Frozen, this thing was on the cover of Hot Rod magazine (I think) a few years ago. They were drooling over the thing.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a car get a more overwhelming vote for frozen.
GM should have built this thing, and made it just like the concept (or as close as government lighting/bumper/etc regulations allow). There are plenty of upper-middle-class middle-aged guys out there who would gladly drop $50-60k for this car, even if it's handling isn't the best and the fuel economy is poor and there's no manual transmission and yadda yadda yadda. |

Seen it in person - spent about 10 minutes just pouring over every little detail of the damn thing. It's far and away frozen and anyone who says differently is fucked in the head.

QUOTE(Halflifehavock13 @ Sep 14 2007, 10:06 AM) I would have liked it a lot more if they put a blown LS6 with a stick in it. Well the later models got the LS2 with a 6-speed, which was a big step up from the 5.3 with the 4-speed auto that it originally came with. But even with that superior powertrain, it was still a very flawed car dynamically and it looks pretty stupid... |

People always want a cool concept car to make it to production but sometimes it isn't a good idea... |

BTW, the Efijy... it froze hell... |
