Very sweet.

I actually really like the new body style they used on the xB. That widebody makes it even better, as if the TTV8 wasn't enough. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I'd ditch all the stickers though, if I were to drive it.

It certainly isn't, i'de rather drive a comfy toaster, compared to a solstice , especially with that under the hood.

Considering you'd actually be seen in a SRT4 I wouldn't doubt it.

O noes!

The guy makes a good point.

My personal opinion: A solstice looks sportier than an Xb, Handles FAR better, and had V8's in them before the Xb... The Mallet conversion was too cool for words, and in this case, the toaster would be none too comfortable: I'm betting they had to move the firewall back a good bit.

I agree with Gam, though looking at the pics it seems more to me like the v8 is just mounted very very VERY far forward. So while it does have the uber cool factor, I bet it handles like a roller skate.

I mean if I had money wipe my ass with and burn (not the same money mind you, that would smell awful) I would rather have this engine combo in a solstice, but the TT Toaster is quite cool in its own trailer queen never driven a street mile way.

I didn't know that was going to be taken so harshly to everyone.


Heh, the reason i said that was because the solstice is ugly, the sky is where it is at .


Sky>Toaster>Solstice .

Again: coming from an SRT-4 owner, this is not at all surprising. (IMHO the Solstice is dead sexy)

Yeah, a TTV8 in a Solstice or Sky would make more sense and handle better, but imagine the surprise factor when you pull away from someone in the xB.. They'd expect it in the sports car, but not the toaster.....

I love how this thing looks with the widebody. I'd ditch the stickers, though. I'd love to see pics of this one's interrior. I'd be interrested to see if the seating is still there in the rear, and how cool the rear tubs would look.
