Re: The Forum's Daily Featured Crossfire & Driver:
Today I decided to pick a bunch from the gallery
after reading this post last night
In the words of fastfunfor2......
I think the car looks great from any angle. The reason is that the body of the car is a skillful merging of two strong shapes. The wide front fenders taper to the rear and (on the coupe) the roofline and side glass continue the taper right to the rear bumper. Meanwhile, the wide and muscular looking rear of the car tapers toward the front, disappearing completely at the side strakes. Adding tension and tautness to the skin is a finely creased edge that runs from the taillights to the front wheelwell. As the dividing line between the two tapers, this edge reveals the exact point where the two shapes intersect right below the side mirrors. Here, seen as an enlongated "x," the horizontal top surface of the rear fender suddenly inverts to form the shadow detail above the strake. Also, the raised ridge that runs from the front splitter to the rear bumper is like the spine of an animal, a beast ready to spring forward. From bumper to bumper the designers have integrated these two shapes into a single form that is the embodiment of power, speed, and grace. I find it absolutely beautiful from every angle.

Man I like more and more that way of opening the doors.
"ICHON", you should paint also the SRT6 on the engine in Red. But have to say that in general it looks wicked.

Ashley says that mine is a lot faster then hers and wants to know when she gets the 181 pulley and the ECU tune. Sooooon
