I wouldn't think a high-revving rotary (or two) would be the best motivator for this thing. Guessing there's a little heft involved and a bit more torque would be called for. Perhaps something in a Cummins or Duramax is in order.

A '73 Datsun 240Z. Had a 5-speed swapped in and the engine had been gone thru and gotten some goodies. Needed some minor things and some paint repair, but it was nice overall. Couldn't figure out how to come up with $1500. Felt like a moron almost instantly.

I loved watching her on Top Gear, making fun of Jeremy. And then watching her smoke his time in a van.

I predict that I will run across something like this any day now on a Dallas freeway. You can't publish these things. Someone will take it seriously.

Danger Mouse had the best vehicle.

'Crikey.' Australian for 'Oh Shit.'

@hawkeye18 has a huge gun: Needs a cam swap and a few more degrees of timing.

Take this thing to Maxton or the Texas Mile. Wind it out a bit and see what she'll run. That's the way John Wayne woulda done it.

@stöke, metäl ümläüt ënthüsïäst: If I saw an R5, I would walk around it, trying to figure out how to steal it and go for the joyride to end all joyrides.

@Ryan Wacker: The F50 looks gimmicky to me, like a concept car. Love to watch one sliding around and hear the exhaust note, but I'm not a fan of its looks.

I'll give TGUS a chance, but I can't bring myself to call it Top Gear. There is only one Top Gear, and it's hosted by 3 Brits who may or may not hate America. Best. Show. Ever. (Apologies to Lost, Monty Python and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia)

I wanna run the Camaroghini around this sucker. Could be a good weekly segment for the show- 'Not-So-Big Star in a Crappy Replicar'

Damn it all to Hell! Of course it's from Texas. One more thing to sully the reputation of my state.

You can tell this isn't the US, because people actually pulled to the right when they saw him coming up. Although it did seem that the VW drivers took the longest time to move over.

They had to wait 15 years for the government to issue them these prime parking spots. 5 more years for toilet paper, 10 more for bread.

Some say he learned to drive in America on the other side of the sea.

Most people don't know this, but the Grand Marquis was named for the Marquis de Sade. He was a French aristocrat with a taste for deviant sex with anyone or anything.

@Dopaz: Extra wings means extra speed.

@TechnoDestructo: These remind me of my buddy in high school that had an old VW with the Rolls Royce grill and fake continental kit.

I am a little disappointed in the 'big stars' they've got lined up. Dominic Monaghan is cool, Tony Hawk seems like a good guy and Michelle Rodriguez scares me in a good way. Buzz Aldrin? Ok, I can see that. The rest are over-exposed, off the radar or just uninteresting. My humble opinion.
