I like it very much and just hope it's performance will be just as good as it's looks.

/\/\ Although I like the idea I have to agree to that sadly, all that time into that supercar could have been invested in restoring and modding old american muscles indeed... :x

I like Foose and much of his work, but that I don't like.

jorge 02-20-2007 09:13 PM

I don`t like it, but it would be interesting to see how it performs

Looks a lot like a west coast version of the Plymouth Prowler...Dont like it, and mid-engined? Id like to see them try and drag that with slicks...lol Anybody wanna try and get me on overhaulin?

guess im the only one that thinks that foose shouldnt be allowed within 100 miles of anything with an engine. i dont like his designs and this is really a bad looking car.

That's a pretty harsh criticism for one of the most successful living car designers.

I don't particularily like this car, either. But you have to admit the man has talent.

if foose wanted to design a supercar that looked 'italian' i'm sure he could've done it no problem...but we got to remember that he's more into hot rods and muscle cars, hence he designed something that would have the best of all these 3 car categories...supercar layout, muscle car power and hot rod looks

hemi engine for me....i couldn't stand the shelby gt 500's whiney supercharger :|

You guy's must not like hot rods.. This is a great example of what a hot rod should be in this day in age. Updated design but keeping true to the tradition of the hot rod.

It would just be silly to have tons of pretty gadgets inside the car. Hot rods are all about simplicity and brutality in my opinion.

pagani 02-21-2007 11:08 AM

I love hot rods.
