Throw in a manual transmission and I would happily give you my money.
My absolute wet dream, that probably isn’t even plausible without a crazy mind boggling amount of engineering, if at all:
Take a C8 chassis and drivetrain, and drop a 63 split window shell (replica) over it.
Imagine looking through that split window and seeing the modern C8 engine (bonus points if the blue ZR1…
And the idea of having that design on a modern performance platform with modern creature comforts is mouth watering to me.
You are reading my mind and I kindly request you stop before you get to the gross stuff.
I’m 43. I absolutely love the designs of muscle cars in the 60s, but know from experience they’re also terrible to drive. So a restomod does make theoretical sense. However, they need to be done as close to the original design as possible, and without adding a bunch of modernized body cladding. Some alterations will…
Totally agree. With the society switching to more and more dogs and less and less kids, a vehicle like the Element might be a hit today.
Everything comes back to Honda should relaunch the Element.
A dodge version (complete with SRT-4 trim) of the Jeep Renegade would have been great and probably made us forget about the Caliber. Slightly less boxy, and a little more street oriented (and by that I mean just painted fenders instead of black plastic).
Wrong. It was Lee Iowachewbaccacocca.
The Dart Lesson: You gotta at least try, like a little bit. Just kinda. Give it half-ass and you’ll be fine. But you gotta give it at least half-ass.
The obvious logic here is that they are probably going to get bankrupt anyway, so might as well do some cowboy shit until the end.
Chargers with V8s, I’d also be federalizing Opel economy cars as Chryslers. Make Chrysler a bargain bin brand. Maybe start introducing the french stuff to undercut the Germans. This would almost certainly bankrupt the company but wouldn’t it be fun?
