A couple of issues ago in Grassroots Motorsport they had a story on a guy who made one of those for about $2500 dollars.

Ford Shogun. Festiva body with a SHO engine in the tail. I think it was a very, very limited production.

Neat, but they are to So-Cal what the '78 Trans-Am is to Georgia.

The mullet vehicle of choice.

I love Smokey & the Bandit

i don't recall reading about ford actually making these. http://www.fordfestiva.com/members/tom/shogun7.htm suggests that only 7 or so have been hacked together (#7 being particularly ugly)

renault has made production versions of this type of car for years, tho, and the clio sport v6 is the latest in the line: http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring/news_reports/5_03_renv6.htm

I stand corrected. There was a older Renault R5 at Waterfest in 02. Tail happy in the auto-x. I saw a Clio sport V6 at SEMA last year. Very nice. Isn't Toyota supplying the engines for the Elise in the states?

I blew my wad last year and said I wouldn't get a new ride for two more years. Here's what damage happened last time the checkbook started itching.

i like how they look, too. too bad they're supposedly beasts, as you saw. you're right about the elise wrt toyota: http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=19&article_id=7371&page_number=1

even with "60% more power," 14% more weight is lame. dang fat usa 5 mph bumpers

Nice.
I wish I had some electronic pics of the Road King I used to own.

 

[Southbay Bomber]

Scan your pics. 5/23 is SJ HD's demo day. I plan on riding a v-rod and RK. They make it easy to take one for a spin.

 

[Damn True]

Ive ridden the V-rod.
Skip it. Fast, but a really uncomfortable ride.

I just want to try a bunch of different bikes since the only other bike I tried was a small GPZ back in the 80's. I tested the road glide at the last demo. Very plush on hwy 280 at 80mph and the stereo sounded pretty good. The dealership made it quick and a no hassle affair.
Bottom line is that I couldn't get into all the chrome and performance I have in my softail. I got very lucky finding my rig on Ebay and the guy was in Santa Clara.

The ability to carry myself, my dog in the back, some friends and at least a few bikes with a good rack. It would be good in all kinds of weather, could shuttle up all but the nastiest roads. And oh ya the fact that it can beat the living PISS out of 95% of all streetable cars out there performance wise is an added bonus. And that is just stock, just wait until some crazy rich kid gives one of these to a after market Tuner. Oh My.

Gemballa makes a 700hp version of it. I'll try to dig up a picture.

 

[Dash01]

Yup

 

[Damn True]

Nah, trucks are trucks and sports-cars are sports-cars. I can't think of one I have driven that mated the two into anything good.
(Haven't driven a Cayenne yet though)
