The Car Shopping Round 136 - New Millenium, New (old) Beginning - ENDED

HAWKEYE CIRRUS

The new millenium never looked so bright

The Cirrus represents both our legacy and our future. Our famous 4.5l V8 “Meteor” meets the most innovative technologies from the industry, resulting in a pleasant driving experience with the best level of confort and safety.

The Cirrus stands out for being a great everyday car without sacrificing its performance, making it an all-around champion. It’s strength relies on its all new suspension, with IRS and active control, tuned for the best driving dynamics, turning the vehicle into a super stable platform for its 300hp.

Made my entry… Was happy with the styling… then realised it’s a bit of a neon look-alike…

DURENDAL R2-C

Tracing it’s lineage back to Durendal’s original Mark 2 roadster, the new R2-C offers an immersive driving experience with the comfort and refinement of a proper tourer.

EDIT- So apparently, the previous pics taken were of the pre-production prototype. The final production model finalized the breaks for the front and rear fascias, as well as updating the headlights slightly. Pics of the production model shown

Pretty sure you are done with the car, but if you need help with the engineering I can try to help you if you need a extra hand or 2. I will not enter the csr by myself me and I.

Thanks! I’m pretty much done with the engineering on it, too… just tweaking it so I get the most out of everything. If you want to collab on another challenge I’d be more than happy to!

The MAD Corsair is back!

Tired of the notion that American muscle and pony cars have gotten too soft recently? Fear not… The new Corsair is here to restore some old-fashioned law and order to the streets!

All-new for 2002, the latest MAD Corsair perfectly recaptures the spirit of its ancestors and combines it with modern technology for a truly authentic muscle car experience. This great survivor of the muscle car wars is back with a vengeance… Imports beware!

Model shown is Corsair GT in Chrome Yellow with leather seats and aero kit as part of the GTE package.

Standard features include:

  • Retro-modern exterior styling that evokes memories of the famed 1972 model, conveying an air of ruthless aggression even when standing still, and especially so when on the move. Don’t worry about rust - the high-strength steel chassis is built to last, as are its fully treated body panels, so expect this car to keep running for a very long time, in the true American tradition. And by the way, we offer a 5-year/60,000 mile warranty across all trim levels for guaranteed peace of mind during ownership.

  • A 6.3L all-alloy pushrod V8 delivering 300 horsepower and 345 foot-pounds of torque (on 86 AKI/91 RON regular unleaded!) to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission (or an optional 5-speed automatic) and a limited-slip differential, allowing you to perform a big, smoky burnout with ease. And if you feel the need for speed, it will reach 60 mph in 5.5 seconds, top out at over 160 mph and cover a quarter-mile in just 14 seconds from a standing start.

  • 4-wheel independent suspension (dual wishbones up front, multi-link in the rear) tuned to provide a comfortable ride while also retaining enough agility to put the fear factor into any and all known rivals (both imported and domestic) on any twisty back road, or even on a road course. And with 4-wheel vented disc brakes with ABS, plus switchable traction control (stability control optional) you’ll have plenty of stopping power in reserve all the time, every time.

  • 4 comfortable seats trimmed in genuine leather, with real alloy trim to lend that 100% American premium feel for the real world, and a high-quality 10-speaker sound system incorporating not just a tape deck, but also a CD player with a 10-disc changer for when the roar of your engine is not enough of an accompaniment for your daily drive. And we haven’t forgotten about safety either - driver, passenger and side airbags are provided as standard along with manual 3-point belts for all four occupants.

Base price for the 2002 MAD Corsair GTE starts from $38,000 (including $3,000 gas-guzzler tax). Please contact your nearest dealer for test drive inquiries and option availability.

Streamliner.
A name common since the 1930s, and in the Raven’s lineup as a prominent GT since the late 1950s, it has evolved with the times, but as we approached the new millenium in desinging the 1997 Streamliner, we took the opportunity to look back at that Mk1, and do our level best to encapsulate it’s aura with the latest in technology and engineering, from the circular headlights, to the full length chrome strip, and the roar of classic 6, 8, and 12 cylinder engines.

Here, the Speed 6 Cabriolet mates classic style with a 3.25l i6 and hard-top convertible roof for a dynamic drive sure to delight whatever the mood.
