Acceleration is rarely constant. How quickly a car can go from a standing start to 62mph/100kph, is not a good predictor of who quickly that car can get to its maximum speed. Worse would well it can hold it.

Gotta STOP making critical, high stress, high temperature, parts out of plastic.

When they said it took 11 months to put headlights on the car, I was agaped. THERE IS A WOMAN WITH A CONSIDERABLE RACK RIGHT THERE! WHAT WAS YOUR PROBLEM!?!?

Who was hoping for “XBOX 720"?

You did not misinterpret me. You did not know some details about the car’s history, that is all.

Okay. I limited myself to only three cars per car maker, Ford, GM, and Chrysler before. I was NOT going to go on nigh infinitum about every concept car that did not make production. The original comment/article was long enough.

I only liked the GT-90 for the V-12. I really wish Ford found a use for the V-12 in a production car.

ME-412 did not disappoint me. It made me HATE Daimler-Benz because that car sacred Daimler so badly they HAD to crush Chrysler. Everything you said is right, but you left out one important piece. The Car woudl cost about $250K, just a bit more than a 1/3 as much as the Mercedes McLaren SLR, while being all around…

I forgot that one. But i wanted to limit myself to three cars per car maker, Ford GM and Chrysler, even if Carbon Motors and Aptera demanded I add theirs.

I liked the Fort-nine, myself, but I liked the Intercetpor more.

1) The Razor would have been fine. It was the size of a 1st gen Miata. Maybe slightly larger. Besides I like it for what it would have done for the Chrysler not necessarily for me.

Keep in mind I liked everything about the 1999 Charger Concept except the front end. If they get the proportions and overall shapes and forms right, I’m okay with that. Something like the current Chargers front end would be stellar.

The tail was too short and the retro was too slavish, much like the Dodge Challenger, for me to like. But seeing the current Continental, I am actually okay with the 2002 concept.

I saw it mainly in the tail and profile. But the overall shape informed the C5.

Even so, Mazda’s rotary engine absolutely needed its oil changed every 3000 miles. This was due to a lot of really bad engine details. Ernie Brink developed so fixes that are supposed to fix most of the engines performance problems, some emissions issues as well.

The Front end of the 1999 Charger concept is the weakest part. But the big deal was 1) Its RWD 2) V8 3) they were going to bring it to production before Daimler Benz took them over and told them to build what they did.

I think the newer Stratos was really a re-bodied Ferrari and cost about as much as a old Stratos. In hindsight I’m glad that one did not make it. But I’ll see your Stratos and raise you a 2014 Ford RS160.

1989 Pontiac Banshee. A styling exercise, but it did point the way for the Firebird.

Dream Cars that let us down? Okay... My “short” list from Chrysler, Ford, and GM.
