Here's a better reply for you:

Motor is built - 20/22R Hybrid .030 over, decked block & head w/oversized valves, aluminum rockers, 44mm Mikuni Side drafts
Coming soon - MkI Supra axle swap with LSD, coilovers, poly bushings all around, needs some bodywork, & I need to redo my exhaust after the suspension work.

I'll reply fully tomorrow, but search for the Grimace tag on Oppo. I've thrown up some updates and pics.

RA4x Celica?

I doubt a state or local police force will want to spend $5k plus per flight in fuel alone, not to mention maintenance costs.

Ironically, it would be way too fast for that, and I don't see how you'd set up a spray system on it.

Lutz has an L-39 Albatross and an Alpha jet, not sure about the Phantom. Might be the Collins Foundation out for demos at Selfridge. If it is an F-4 and MiGs, it's most likely for one of the airshows in the area.

No gun, 1 seat.

The awesomeness fades away as soon as you pull those barrels out of it's snout.

I can see the point of a MiG, as you can buy them in 2 set variants, but the Warthog would just be preposterous as a "rich man's toy". It's like buying a Vista Cruiser when you're filth rich instead of a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. There are much more capable "fun" aircraft than a de-mil'd A-10.

What in the holy fuck would you use it for as a civilian!?

I'm more sad about this video than the Viper.

Maybe this was a Chrysler test mule that couldn't be sold to the public after they've had their way with it?

A good set of all season tires will get you there and back just fine, as long as you drive for the conditions and don't pretend you're invincible.
I've done a few cross-country jaunts with just all seasons on FWD & 4x4 vehicles. No issues during more than a couple snow storms or icy conditions.

But Eastpointe (East Detroit) is Macomb County, you should be plowed out soon.

Explain yourself.

I actually do disaster comms for FEMA. We always joke about those conspiracy theorists.

Martial law, population control, secret underground bunkers, New World Order, deathcamps, etc.
