not sure on that long trunk and the mini cobra roll bars but oh well. Whats in the trunk a fold down hardtop??

[JoeG]

I remember another speedster design back when, maybe it was a futuristic prototype design of a Charger. It had the same type rounded backrests .I'll have to see if I can find that old photo.There should be more info on this Motion car coming out from the Sema show...What's in the trunk...Two hats and googles....

Those Chrysler guys knew how to have fun http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif---Similar Charley,but this prototype kept the Charger front split grill--I think it was gold --I'll have to dig it out ............

YUK......I like everything from the cowl forward. The rest you can have

[JoeG]

Speedsters thru out the years pushed the ideas of technology and futuristic design with emphasis on performance and it's road handling ability from a pure automotive point of view. ---I'd like to see what this thing could do on an open winding road course............That being said, I'm glad they didn't make this into a Boat-tail....

?????...wtf did they do to that car...hope they used a repop body for that thing.

Pimp my Ride? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[Belair62]

Over the top for sure...I wouldn't kick it out of my garage though !!!

[Dave Rifkin]

I think the two Camaros that Motion brought to the SEMA this year and last are too "over the top". I much prefer the bare bones "bad ass" cars that they used to produce. I kind of wish they'd go back to that instead of doing these reverse opening hoods, bling-bling exhaust and such. Build the boulevard bruisers that we have all come to know and love and people will be beating down the doors; just my humble opinion.

[Secgen7012]

Just came back from SEMA and saw this car in person...Hood scoop looked to big. Finish was nice but the fit wasn't there. Will try to post some photos.

[Secgen7012]

Photo: Check out the bottom of the front fenders from last year. (click attachment above)

[Dave Rifkin]

Okay, what are we supposed to be looking at other than the fact that the front fenders flare out at the rear?

[Secgen7012]

The flares don't match...isn't this the convertible version of the SuperCoupe from last year?

[rare1]

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gifI think maybe we are trying to reach the generation now not then.........Just think 30yrs. from now will this cycle be starting all over again!? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif But it's good for everyone in the "Motion" world regardlesshttp://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[AutoInsane]

Joel.. Build em like you used to!!!! Build it and they will come.......

[Secgen7012]

I agree.

Also note the driving lights in the front valance are not the same as the first red car. whats the problem? No two cars that rolled out of the Baldwin lot were identical. Nothing has changed, same as it ever was. Gas it.

I know that back in the day the performance mods weren't identical from car to car, but fenders are another story.

If that's the case then I don't know much about the old Motion.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif

Mirrors, badges, wheels, windows, gas fillers etc. grab whats handy or whatever the customer wanted.
Aren't the fenders hand made? You either like the cars or you dont. I'll let the buyers be the critics.
I really don't see any relevant significant differences, maybe its this new fangled computer monitor.
I'm still used to looking at fast cars in my rear view mirror.

It's being critiqued because it missed on fit…not because its unaffordable. I’d do the same thing to a custom built house.

No one will have one if they keep making it like this. That's all I'm trying to say. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif

yeah, maybe it looks crappy in person. All I have is this TV screen to go by, it's so shiney and looks real fast. Anyone hear it run?

Shiny with 1/2" gaps between some of the doors and front panels...I know the horse is dead on this one, but for $500K!...Is the fit of a toyota too much to ask?

wow, that IS some gap !! easier to see now that the technical help has arrived and enlarged those previous attachments. Yikes!

Look at the pedal placement directly under the front of the dash??? I do not know how anyone could drive the car comfortably-your legs will be in your chest...... For a half million dollars and a claim that they test fit the cars to each owner... There is no way that happened here. I have not seen the car in person, is it as bad as I have been told? The pictures really do not look that good...

[jtower1969]

Didn't I read that the motor is set back? And look how far back the seats are in relation to the door opening...

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif
yes, the motor is set back more than a foot, as are the pedals and front seats (no rear seat)

Take another look at where the pedals are directly under the front of the dash and then look at where the front seat starts. It appears that your legs will be in your chest.
