Other than the fact it has 2 doors and 4 wheels the Firepower looks nothing like a Viper...

cas2themoe 01-12-2005 01:05 AM

Too much like the Crossfire for me!

I saw that at the DC auto show a few weeks ago - 24 inch wheels!!

I see all these beautiful sports cars but cant help wonder what the heck is Toyota doing we know Toyota has no plans to bring back the supra. This year I think is the last year for the mr2 and celica. Why has Toyota turn its head away from the sports car market? And that econobox scion tc is that thing suppose to be a sports car. :confused:

From the dashboard shot, it looks like this would have had a digital speedometer.

they should have made a Charger out of that instead of the Magnum. Then everyone would be all "Mustang what?".

Beautiful car, especially the interior!

But to be honest, I'm starting to get tired of all the retro design. I don't know why, but it's becoming too much, especially from american car makers (if you consider Chrysler 100% american, that is - this prototype could be based on a Mercedes platform as well, being the SL version of the Crossfire SLK conversion). I mean, this is a really, really, really nice car, but could be please have something else then "back to the sixties" in the near future?

Toyota Volta was concept I liked.

no steering wheel controls? WEAK! and there needs to be a manual version

Take a look at the second picture of the car -- the rear.

Now imagine the car saying "do these pants make my butt look big."

Since we're all soon to be banned for mentioning the x-fire, we're going to need another Chrysler product that embodies the passion of this forum. The Firepower could just be that car and rumors have it coming to production after all.

No offense directed to anyone that adores the design of the Firepower, but am I the only one who thinks this is a blatant copy of the Viper. Is originality dead nowadays?

Ajax 08-28-2006 09:46 AM

lol. read the thread. lotsa people think it looks like a viper..
either way, they should've made the ME412 and not this piece.

nice thread resurrection anyway.

Transam kid 01 08-28-2006 11:53 AM

Im not a fan of the rims.....or the auto....other wise....cool!

BlueSky 08-28-2006 01:25 PM

man how old is this? I can remember reading about this car in C&D prob. I think almost 3 years ago. It's basically a detuned viper in drag, big whoop.

And the "!" was a misprint in the name.

alfy28 08-28-2006 02:10 PM

hmm it looks like a Ferrari F430 :)

MadRonin 08-28-2006 03:00 PM

Jebus! Would you like a little interior with your bling? That thing is hideous AND it's a frickin' Chrystler.

silverwolf 08-28-2006 03:37 PM

looks like a penis....

N rider89 08-29-2006 01:21 AM

looks like a saturn sky and and a crossfire mixed

Mikeluvs8 08-29-2006 02:17 AM

not my style...

BoosTED 08-29-2006 03:19 AM

It even rhymes with Crossfire.

DOMINION 08-29-2006 03:36 AM

Looks like it wants to be a.... Super car?
I'll pass.

truemagellen 08-29-2006 04:48 AM

The Crysler ME-12 weighs only 2888 with 850 horses at the crank

my goodness can you imagine it with a 3 rotor turbocharged to 800 at the wheels?!!!!

it would weigh what 2650?

6speedRenesis 08-29-2006 11:39 AM

it looks like a bastardized version of the kabura
