/\/\ 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

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.
