Default Re: new 69 Motion at SEMA

Ed, I sense that you're holding back. Open up and tell us what you really want to say.

I agree, 15x10 slots with N50 meats would do wonders for this car. I think the problem is that we all have a pre-conceived notion of what a Motion car is supposed to look like and this car isn't exactly it. But this car is what Mr. Rosen has to build nowadays to really set the crowd on its collective ear. Remember, Motion cars were way over the top in the late '60s and this red car is way over the top by today's standards. I'm not that turned-on by this new car but I think it's great that Mr. Rosen and Mr. Schorr have gotten back together to make another splash in the Supercar game. (I hope Mr. Rosen makes some money on this latest foray.) As for Sony, coporate sponsorship is another aspect of the modern day. Car stereos have made quantum leaps since 1970 and they're a mandatory part of any high-visibility build nowadays. If I were Mr. Rosen I'd welcome any help I could get, especially from a big copropration like Sony. No, it's not about thumping bass and vibrating door and trunk panels, it's about thumping CAMS. But again, they need the Sony bucks to help get this venture off the ground.

$427K? Wow. I'll bet we won't see any on Power Tour.
