Dunno, but I'm pretty sure I can't afford one.

 

Looks like a Vette to me...albeit custom. GM seems to be finally getting their act together...that along with the new Camaro are really looking good.

[Backlash]

a solstice? i need to look at my pics, i think i got a few other shots of it.

 

if thats a Solstice, it has a lot of body work.

but whatever it is... damn nice looking.

[snow05gtRI]

almost looks like a viper with a ton of body work on the rear end.

 

 

OT just for a sec: dtmenace the shirt your avatar from is hilarious...i have a few shirts off that site...

Well, it was a short trip to Las Vegas this year, and I'm back as of late last night (or early this morning, I guess). Here is just a few more shots from Part 4. I'll be putting more up later as I get time to!

any info on the goodyear white walls? I need something like that for my classic.

 

cant find em on the goodyear website.

[JetFire]

nice pics guys. Havn't been to SEMA since 2 years ago. Great times. I wonder how the economy is affecting this years turn out.

[mrmako]

Hmmm.. The H/K Legacy has the JDM exterior bits on it.

 

Absolutely JDM. Here's a comparison for you. Mine is the 3.0R spec B, so the bits should match.

 

 

 

[stewartg]

Sorry guys. I didn't want to pay for another days internet Thursday night since I was leaving early Friday and I spent Friday unpacking and going with my friend to buy an outback. Yesterday I reformatted my computer and spent the day re-installing everything.

[Jerboa113]

you should have ripped that fake hood and roof scoop off that "concept" toyota matrix.

 

that is a sacrilegious depiction of a god.. a rally god.. and should not be allowed on a pos economy car like the matrix.

Actually, I think a awd turbo matrix would make a fine rally car. Obviously the scoop is just for looks with the big fmic.

[Guest heightsgtltd]

The Celica GTS rally car that Carlos Sainz drove had pretty humble beginings.

[Jerboa113]

well excuse me if I think its not ok for toyota to steal design queues from our cars and take their econo box, cram a big intercooler on the front, and to feel a little insulted when they expect me to drool on que.

 

that vehicle is offensive.

[katalyst]

the mines GT-R looks awesome.

 

thanks for the pics stewartg

I would still rather have this ofcourse ...

... but I don't think the design is very original. Europe has been producing hot hatches for eternity, and the matrix has been around for quite some time now. The hatch has had great success in rally over the years, hence subarus adaption of the chasis for the sti.

Somehow I can picture the French saying this about Subaru...

 

Pot calling the kettle black?

[Jerboa113]

much better tho.

 

I suppose its my rampant distaste for anything toyota that fuels that matrix as offensive than anything else... I still have resentment in them for the failure of the new wrx and its passive feminine framed doors.
