holy crap....they ACTUALLY mounted a real Wieand blower ontop of the factory supercharger as a prop.....they are turning it with a drive belt, but its not actually doing anything....wow, just wow...so you are now powering TWO superchargers with the engine, but only one actually does anything LOL.

Haha I was wondering about that since a hellcat already has a supercharger. That's what I heard

it never ceases to amaze me the length to which people will go to ruin cars lol.

Agreed.

It also amazes me that people have that kind of disposable income to throw at vehicles and are clueless as to how to do it right.

I like it because the Mad Max interceptor is one of my favorite movie cars, but yeah it’s crazy to do this to a new Hellcat.
Here’s someone that built one out of an actual Australian Ford Falcon.

but this is at least a real ford interceptor...with a blower that is actually working....im not a huge fan of movie car recreations (bc typically the execution is woefully lacking), but geez...at least START with the correct car....this one is pretty awesome tho. Not something i'd want to be driving around, but it is well done.

I like the factory one better, although you would have to explain to everyone what the hell it is Wait is that mustang??? no no, torino....no wait???

You wouldn't drive around in a recreation like that now, but rat it out a little bit with some faded paint, primered body panels, and hood and it takes on a whole different vibe.

Stopped at Uncle Giuseppe’s in Morris Plains to grab a late lunch and this was there. Talked to the owner briefly, seemed like a normal guy.

today seemed to be Porsche day I saw 2 Panameras and some others but only got pics of these. Not sure I like the green. Cayman guy was in a hurry.

Then dude man was cruising 287 in this 3 axle Jeep thing? Did NOT look safe.

Finally for all you chin spoiler fans I too cringed at this in the parking lot.

I've wanted that car/blower since 1981.

 

[slingblade_uhhuh]

Lift kit and tires is better money spent than a faux blower.

CRUISE: Last minute, but @R8Bill and I will be getting out today around 1130. Just a few hours and reasonable pace with the colder roads. Anyone?

Oh, and I worked a large-ish party in Bernardsville last night, valet/shuttling cars. 37 cars total. 13 Teslas. Ugh.

 

[Carson]

UPDATE: We'll be at the Ferrari CNC at Milltown Park (4-H grounds) at 11:15 calling everyone TONY and will leave when they throw cannolis at us.

First one I have seen in person that’s not the ugly fake bronco sport model.

Honda wing ding.

Porsche was at Marty’s Randolph parking lot yesterday.

Someone at Walmart yesterday had a bad day when they came out to the parking lot. Wind was whipping all the carts around.

if this didn't come out on 4/1.....
