##1974 Dimension Paradox 2 Cali Cruiser

The optimism and carefree attitude of the 60s were replaced with the depression and constant fear of the 70s and it especially shows with the Paradox 2. The once mighty sports car is now cucked into oblivion to an astounding 200 hp, cursing hippies under every asmathic breath whenever it can.

##1978 Dimension Paradox 2 410 Special

The malaise era seriously discouraged new sports car ownership especially since they weren’t any faster than muscle cars 10 years ago or compacts sold today. The 410 special makes a desperate comback to win the crowd, despite breaking several rules and the car ended up being incredibly expensive to keep owning.

Hmm everyone seems to want to use this body nowadays

those are some impressively lights cars too, my fat-fuck hyper GT cars couldn’t hold a candle to it

[abg7]

The Paradox 2 definitely looks on-point. You deserve some kudos for offering a true sports car in the immediate aftermath of the fuel crisis, and one that somehow managed to be as fast as it looked, even with just 200 bhp in base trim!

[Sillyworld]

Meliora has the perfect competitor for the Paradox 2 I will publish it in a few days maybe

[Deskyx]

If it doesn’t have an utterly pathethic power output it doesn’t count

##2002 Dimension Singularity ST Sport (GDC40)

Early 2000’s Dimension didn’t have alot of money after the Asian Financial Crisis due to extensive investments in the Japanese and Russian market. With the sport compact craze in full swing, the Singularity was released in '02, it being nothing more than a tarted up 3rd gen Rift with a coupe body that made it several times more tempting for ricers.

##2003 Dimension Singularity SSP Sport 4

The Americans preferred to soup up their sport compact offerings with excessive power and torque steer, however Dimension chose not to fight with the SSP Rift and decided the Singularity be a handling oriented performance version. The result is hailed as one of the finest handling FWD cars ever made, which failed to sell because everyone prefers horsepower. Sigh.

@Deskyx

ehehehehehehehe…

This though:

@Deskyx

The result is hailed as one of the finest handling FWD cars ever made, which failed to sell because everyone prefers horsepower. Sigh.

Everything is there on the SSP trim for it to be a brilliant car though, which likely means it would have gained an exclusive and dedicated following. And it certainly has plenty of power. I like.

[Awildgermanappears]

That is one nice ZZT230

[Deskyx]

Ye but with cars like this the fanclub always comes after the car dies and can be picked up for 10K on the used market.

@Awildgermanappears That was the intention Dimension fills in both Toyota and GM well…

[Awildgermanappears]

Not a Fan of the lights… too 2009 for 2003.

[Deskyx]

Heads or tails? In both cases I agree… Been using the same lights for both my 2000s and 2010 cars… but I can’t find any other good ones and too lazy to make intiricate custom lights.

[Deskyx]

No points for being able to guess what this car’s based on

##2008 Dimension Paradox 5 Supercharged ZRGT (CJZ22)

Amidst our bailout, Dimension management decided not to cut down on sports car production as to stregthen its very fragile image, and as an agreement with the government not to cut out jobs in the specialized Paradox factory. The supercharged ZRGT remains the only forced induction Paradox model to ever come out from the factory to this date.

[alternatesteve2]

I like this car, but “cucked”? Really? No offense, man, but you couldn’t go with something choked to oblivion?

[TheRoadrunner]

‘‘Cucked’’ is more pathetic than ‘‘choked’’ I guess?

[alternatesteve2]

Oh, I understand. I was just advising him(her?) to be careful, because “cucked” has taken on some pretty unfortunate connotations these days, that’s all, and I’d rather not anyone get in trouble over a misunderstanding, when no harm was meant.

[SideswipeBL]

Wait a minute - supercharged?

[Hshan]

As well as some diesels and CVTs on this forum. Even one nuclear powered car. Just some imagination and pretending

[Awildgermanappears]

[Hshan]

As if I wasn’t making diesels myself

[Oskiinus]

Dimension Rift Turbo 4WD looks like Lancer Evo lol
