Over in the GT6 thread we are bouncing around potential series and it got me thinking that there are cars out there that are just so wrong that they end up being cool. So lets see them!!!!

My contribution is the result of some testing we were doing last night and I ended up really liking something that resembled this. (yes we do have fun with the GT sim racing we do)

"Great Depression"

Lets build a F20C powered hot rod with Aero and multi-link suspension.

Someone is eventually going to post this, so it might as well be me.

Not nearly as cool as weary's though...

Lemons has a plethora of fodder for this thread.

Wait, whut? What game is that?

Back in GT3 days when tinkering with the code was possible and hybridding was easy, a friend of mine dropped the PT Cruiser body on the AWD Astra touring car chassis with ensuing hilarity.

The LS powered RWD Aztek took something not cool and released its inner potential to be cool. On the other hand, 'Great Depression' took something with great potential to be cool and (in my opinion) largely failed to deliver.

A good test is which would you rather be seen driving? For me the answer is easy...The winged race Thing!

The Citation Reliant is the only thing I see in this thread that is wrong. I would totally rock any of the other vehicles!

Not the specific PT I was looking for that I saw on Horsepower TV forever and a day ago, but it fits the bill.

I guess this is the second PT cruiser I'd actually consider owning
