Discuss.



I think it looks great (from certain angles...), but reallllly doubt their numbers will ever be achieved.

Call me a moron (and I'm aware of 3 of you who do :skep), but, I r-e-a-l-l-y LIKE what what I can see of this car. 'Wish there were a shot or 2 of the interior & engine bay.

'Not so sure about the 1.5 sec 0-60 time regardless of the 572 rat's 2K h.p. (super glue tires?). As one of our illustrious sponsors says, horsepower is not the problem - traction is.

Be all that as it may, I feel the same as Mullet - I'll believe it when I see it.

Copy of the Saleen prototype of a few years back? It is attractive.

BBC? :bored Nothing like using oversized (externally) pushrod motors in a 21st century car. Even Mercury Marine has finally abandoned that technology.

If you really like it, you can be an buyer, INVESTOR!, or FOOL, depending on the company's outcome. The odds are the ROI will be negative :)

Maybe, maybe not. I have spent the last 20 years spanking most every one I come across with my Big Fords :thumbsup

EVERY brand spanks and GETS spanked on any given day. 'Doesn't alter/change the fact that the BB & SBC pushrod engines more than hold their own even in today's "hi tech" world. There's no question at all that they DO get the job done.

That said, I'm not aware of any GM 'commencer' that is as BOMB PROOF as the one that sits in the FGT.

Well, you can't say the internet at least hasn't let everyone with a useless pipe dream promote it.

Wouldn't argue that. Just standing up for the Ford Pushrod motors, which have some great history as well. :thumbsup

Coming from you, that is a huge compliment. Proud to say I am the engineer/fabricator/installer/assembler. :cheers

I like the look of the Dagger GT, whether it ever gets built is entirely another matter. But it looks great and demonstrates that car design is alive and well.

at least on the internet Neilda, but tested that is the question...... What would the drag be on a car that goes 308 mph? Would it lift like the space shuttle? We all know the time and effort spent on the aerodynamics of the FGT and it did not come cheap... re: 0-60 in 1.5 sec - Jato?

But on the looks I have to agree ONCE with EP
