Funny looking taxi.
Most of the cars here are funny looking. And they put all the steering wheels on the wrong side.

At least it's a real taxi. I'll never forget seeing one of these with 10 people stuffed in/hanging on the back of it

i'm not sure how they get the launch power to the road without wheel tubs, and wider rubber.
Or have the quarters been flared? Looks like the lip (if there was one) has been trimmed.

you can put 315 wide tires on a stock s550 mustang...so like a 315/40-18 slick...Thats 12.4" wide....WAYYYY wider than I could fit on my old 67 for example.

Didn't seem so fast to me.
No match for my V6 Accord.

 

[UtahJoe]

Wonder if that is a V10 version...if so...Man that must sound awesome in a tunnel

Additionally, fuck taking my nice car in there and having it dented by falling ceiling tiles among other thing

Thats the low-budget V8 version, the V10 version has singe oval exhaust tips. Should still sound good in that tunnel though.
