the front bumper looks a lot like a c5 one... i wonder if GM took queues from the sledge?

here's a pic of the actual bumper used in the high speed test. It does appear, at the very least, they copied the way the marker/signal lights were really pushed to the corner.

And this is pretty bad ass. A very complete conversion that includes an entire steering column from a G8 just to be able to use a Pontiac steering wheel.

i feel like someday it will be artifacts like this that make us weep when we go out to our electric self-driven hover-cars.

And for once, a host realized that nothing they have to say about the car is more interesting than just shutting up and letting the viewer enjoy it.

Hey Scotty, maybe we'll be able to download "drive-tones"?

GS is that green car above a Ferrari? I remember a show that used to be on speed where they would drive some incredible classic sports cars and there was a green Ferrari that they made like 3 of. I think it had a v10 or 12 with as many carbs and it was just the most awesome sound, close to that F40, I've heard coming out of a car.

Edit 2 Upon closer inspection it appears more Jag like..

For you maybe, but I plan on being a loner renegade, cruising the deteriorating streets of the nether world below fighting for gasoline and fending off the crazies.

So, Snake Plissken driving the Olds 442 from Demolition Man, pretty much.

Edit sidenote: I think the second greatest thing about that video besides the sound, is how he, even for a F1 driver, looks so horribly uncomfortable the whole time.

Its a Jag XJ13, prototype 60's Le Mans racer, only one ever made. Maybe you're thinking of a 250 LM or a 330 P* ?

Yup! and a quick search reveals the show was called Victory by Design. Loved it...

What do you guys think? Definitely a bit different...I love the color, it's been lowered some, and I would almost guess those are custom wheels...they are much wider than the originals.

And a WIP completely home built GT40. I look forward to seeing this when it's done. Ton of props to the guy for doing it all..
