:scratch: . . . something tells me it's a 1939 Chevy? Wonder how I know that?



I almost did the same thing with the Vector.

I actually saw two of them on the road before the company closed its doors.
How low where they?

I remember loving this car (even though it had a Chevy engine and an 3-speed Auto Tranny). The interior is wicked cool, like an F-16 or something if I remember correctly. I have a poster I think of a red one with a plane behind it somewhere. [/b][/quote]
They looked to be about the same height as the original GT40, which is 40". They looked incredibly good and sounded better.

You're right, I don't have a scanner. Sorry.

Here's one. Now, it's obviously a GMC Sonoma, but tell me this one's name what's so special about it.

Not quite, but in the interest of moving the game along:

2000 Lingenfelter 427 Twin-Turbo AWD Sonoma
700hp V8
0-60mph in a scant 2.8 seconds

In otherwords, a darn fast truck.

Here's a new one. It's pretty easy.

Smart Roadster.

I can't post pictures over the weekend due to AOL's stupid compression system, can someone else post one?

Last year he bought an ’01 four-wheel-drive S-15 Sonoma pickup and it remained stock for about 30 seconds after it arrived at Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE).
Yup, more than two, you could even say. That paragraph above confirms we were talking about the same truck though, so since jgmuzzy can't post due to AOL, I think it's safe to say that it's your turn.

I love that Mangusta, but again when I know the answer I am too late. Oh well.
