I love that car.

The guys at LMC do great work -- when I make my millions I will have them build me something fun.

porsche4life 01-22-2010 12:41 PM

That is awesome... Maybe those guys can build my Turbo 550-A6 when I get rich....


I still think I'd rather have the Enzo... I bet that cuda developed a brown stain on the seat at 208....

arcsine 01-22-2010 12:45 PM

Achieving 208 with aerodynamics of a brick is impressive.

Talewinds 01-22-2010 01:09 PM

Great looking car, but no thanks.
In the short list of cars I'd actually WANT to do 200 in, that car wouldn't even make the top 100.
With 6,000 hours of build time and less than a week on the pavement, that thing is like a freshly graduated college student.....
Probably not the video to publish, but, with some further "real world" development it could be all sorted out.

vwbobd 01-22-2010 01:22 PM

all of you, and me ,would give a nut for that car :D

jtkkz 01-22-2010 01:35 PM

very nice cuda..... cheaper to maintain too than an Enzo :)

sammyg2 01-22-2010 02:00 PM

Not to diss that car, but:

Years ago I spent an afternoon at Otis Chandler's museum.
Among the hundreds of rare cars he had an original 1971 hemi convertible challenger, plum crazy purple with white interior.
Unrestored with 2000 miles on it. it looked as if it had just rolled off the showroom floor.

If I were to dream of the ultimate muscle car that would still be it.
Doing 70 mph in it would be more rewarding and thrilling than doing 200 in that GREEN Frankenstein.
And I'm a turbo junkie. I've had a turbo bug, a turbo 914, and a turbo 911.
Also a supercharged hemi flatbottom drag boat.
YMMV

masraum 01-22-2010 02:23 PM

I suspect that thing would be pretty awesome to drive. Also, what's not to like about classic looks, and handling and performance to back it up.

Still, the Enzo is probably a better car. I suspect I'd rather have a CGT than either one. And who knows, maybe something like a GT3RS or a street legal version of a GT3RSR would be pretty nice to drive more often.

If I were pushing 208 in that Cuda my balls would be in my mouth..

If ya ask me 85 is as good as 185...especially in an old piece of Detroit Iron...

Shaun @ Tru6 01-22-2010 03:39 PM

you really have to appreciate the talent and experience that went into building that car.

Thanks for the clip. Nice way to spend a few minutes Friday night, and amazing. I love them both for different reasons. I think 200 in the Enzo might be less entertaining than in the Cuda'. Have to agree- "pushing a brick" and "appreciating the talent" really says alot. Those guys did a really good job. Wow

When I'm travelling 200, I'd prefer being in an aircraft, thank you very much. Still, very impressive video...thanks!

KarlCarrera 01-22-2010 05:53 PM

Can't argue that. On a beautiful day

You can't turbo a 914.

You can turbocharge anything :D

m21sniper 01-22-2010 09:35 PM

Guys, did you watch the video? That Challenger walked that Enzo with ease in the straights.

Not even close.

pwd72s 01-22-2010 10:31 PM

I watched...twin turbo? 522 cubes? Stroker McGurk's theory is alive and well!

GH85Carrera 01-23-2010 12:54 PM

It would be so interesting to find out how much that Cuda cost to make. Probably close to the price of the Enzo.
