    What the hell is that thing. It kind of resembles a car. I bet even ricers find that thing ugly.

    After looking at it a second time It kinda resembles a Raptor but with four wheels. I don't know. You know what nevermind, It just looks like a bag of ass.

    Well considering the man who owns that completely built it himself, I think it's pretty sweet. It's parked right in front of Auto Zone (the auto hobby shop on Woodward, not the AutoZone franchise), and the man that pored over that car is the father of the man who owns that store.

    Give respect where it's due...plus it'll blow the doors off everything but one Ferrari in the lineup.

    He built it himself eh? Well at least we can hope there won't be any real debate about this one's styling.

    I think it looks cool.

    Its weird I knew where that picture was taken right off the bat.

    Autozone does good work. Allways polite people working there.
    If you look behind the shelves there you can see pictures that the owner took of the cars that belong to people that shop there. They are coverd up now because there is alot of stuff on the walls now!

    I swear I saw a Pagani Zonda there one day.

    What is wrong with it, it probably took the owner months to build it, he is proud of what he as created, it is different,individual and you will never see another coming towards you.

    I agree, except for the fog lights? on the front. It looks ok. But what does it have powering it? What kind of suspension? Time on tuning the suspension?

    That will definetly help me decide if I like it.

    The car is a one off prototype, powered by a Cadillac Northstar engine. In brief testing done by Rod Millien in Calf., the car hit 1.1 G on the skid pad, 0-60 in 4.1 (on a 94 degree day), and the 1/4 mile in 12.1 (also on the same 94 degree day). Better photo's can be found at aatcars.com along with some other items that they have made for the big 3.

    would look a lot better if it weren't for the front. otherwise, its somewhat streamlined and unique looking.

    I guess we should give credit where it is due - it must have taken a lot of money, time, and energy to create this one-of-a-kind car.

    As long as it doesn't have fuzzy dice hanging anywhere and no loud bass rap playing, I guess it's OK....
