I haven't seen that one before!

That body kit sure does mess up the lines of the car.

The hood scoop could be functional, and I like it better than the strosek twin ducts.
But no scoop is preferable.

The front headlight covers are interesting.

But damn, those flares just do not work with the lines of the car at all.

I love body kits, but that one is pretty nasty.
I'd even repaint the pink spider man car, before tackling this one...

Wow...

Looks like a shark with a bunch of really nasty tumors...I can't even believe someone would take the troouble to fabricate a kit like that POS.

Oh well, different strokes for different folk, I know I'd have had one if my kid ever did that to my car.

Check out the wording on the headrests......does it refer to the car or the driver?

Wasn't there a car similar to this that appeared in European Car Magazine in the early 90s sporting twin turbos? It was in metallic red I believe. Body was kinda yuk like this one but at least you could sorta justify the huge flares with the doubled or greater HP.

I'm usually pretty easy-going about these things, but that's ugly and doesn't work. Needs more cowbell.

So who the hell made that car, and who made those headrests?

The side view is good.

Any other angle, and it looks terrible.

On the PLUS side....

1 - It IS a 5-speed
2 - The water pump does appear to be pretty fresh in the engine pic...
3 - .....err...umm...see the thread on what us shark owners do for a living. It could be driven fine by Normy's "other" employer!

What's wrong with it?

I like it. It has a pseudo Italian flair about it. Granted, the hood could be replaced easily, for that matter the seats too, along w/ the rims...

If it were only a twin turbo I'd have a buyer for it immediately.

Never seen piping look so bad. The red looks un natural, like it was photo shopped in.
