OMFG...I have an almost 8 year old that plays Need For Speed and is fucking obsessed with the Skyline. That's what we spent most of our time doing on the trip...looking for cars off the game. We actually did see a Skyline in New Orleans. And a Challenger too. Pretty sweet, both of them!

KICK ASS

Not a huge Ford fan. I'm quite the Dodge fan...

Nope unsure why but the chickenhawk is not coming back. I am of the belief that if they took the front end of a 2002 WS6 (TA with Ram Air for the Non-Sportscar types)and the rear of a 2002 SS (Sup'd up version of the Camaro). That would have been a real sexy car. Hell they shared the same frame. Also on Motortrend's cover this month is the new improved and finally finished Camaro.

A friend of mine did the same thing almost, he mounted a 460 on a frame and covered it with a Pinto Roundabout shell. Sadly he did not drive it too much as it served as a really great speedster except it was also the vehicle that he died in. It was a closed casket funeral, this thing was a sleeper all around for the casual viewer. He still had the Pinto tires up front but slicks were in the back. The drive shaft was a few u-joints and a real small shaft. He met his maker while racing in Harrison county and he hit a power line with the car. The force of the accident cut the pole off at the base and somehow was left vertical because the power lines did not break.
