We have fun on the public roads as well. We just go down to ol' Mexico for it. :sly:

Here is an unusual car I posted in another thread that someone built that I see in my area often. I think it may be a heavily modified Metro GS, but I am not sure, what do you guys think? :confused:

Almost certainly a Metro. Hypermilers regularly hack them apart like that. That thing probably gets 80 mpg.
 
I spotted one around here claiming to get 100mpg.

Not nearly as radical though. I think this is a awesome mod on a not-so-awesome car.👍


EDIT: :lol: I finally made a Flicker account and figured out how to use it.:dunce:

Found this while looking at MR2s in the DFW area.

That's actually not too bad looking, apart from the ride height.

Why is there a Ferrari showing up when you search for MR2s? :sly:

With the MR-S being a capable track car, wouldn't it be interesting if someone built it up?
 

I like it. Just needs lowered a bit and you can fool all but the trained eye
 
Omg on that Superleggera UGR. Pitty, love that AMS Alpha 12. But did hear that the AMS guys working on a higher HP kit than the 12, 1500whp or something

I found it for the same price as non-Ferrari looking base versions of the same car that I've been looking at. Don't think I could bring myself to do this one instead, though.

It's not terribly accurate in some parts, but I'd be sorta fine with it. However, I would rather have a TRUE Ferrari.

Seeing how the headlights are and that door, I believe so too. I didn't know they did that with cars like that, I would like to see even more pictures of these modified Metro's!

Seeing how most of the car is made of fiberglass, gives it better aerodynamics, therefore, better MPG. I am curious to know what the owner calls this thing and how much MPG it gets. ;)
Edit: Reuploaded since I no longer need Photobucket.

Okay, but I don't want to break records. I want to have fun on public roads.

You really think you're not going to have fun on public roads with 2,500 hp? Oh, dear lorddddd :lol:

You'd probably have fun scaring yourself stupid every time you accelerate.

Indeed, that's the kind of power you probably never get used to. It's probably comforting to drive a 400 horsepower car after that
