"Charley" ...New ride for 2007 Power Tour

[Verne_Frantz]

That car is just the OPPOSITE of what "Pro-Street" cars were in the '80s. Fairgrounds cars with beautiful engines, paint, graphics, chassis, interiors............only none of them actually RAN good at all (if they even started at all)!!

I think the concept is very cool for someone who wants to imagine he's still back in 1970 or so with the baddest sleeper in existance, but as for today, I'd still rather have a good looking car. The days of midnight street racing with a dumpy looking car for money are over. If we could go back, it is certainly the car we'd all want to drive in to the local cruise spot and choose our next victim. It's a car that would be the perfect "best a sleeper could have been back then" car for that purpose, but as I said, it's only an image of the ultimate sleeper we can imagine in the past. As for today, I feel that it has no purpose. When we drive into the same cruise spot, I'd think most would prefer a nice looking car as well. We're no longer trying to fool anyone to putting an extra "C" note in our pocket.
That's just my own personal opinion. I do recognize the expert engineering work that went into it though.
