It was on the floor next to an elevated platform featuring the Magnum station wagon. Unless you came in the right side of the display you wouldn't see it at all. Yet I think it was voted best in show by the journalists. One of the guys from my car club completely missed it. |
by the way, in motor trend, this was right after the article about the shelby cobra, ford's 600-hp v-10 concept...very nice.

is it me or was i right about the 350z looks? But this definately look waaaay hotter |
I think Chrysler should have paid attention to whats happening at Bugatti before they started making claims about a 240mph supercar. With safety and emmission regulations, it's an awful lot harder to make a McClaren today than it was 10 years ago, I very much doubt that car will ever go 240mph. Looks ok though https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
