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.

Thissss is the 2002 Wells WaveHammer. Arguably one of the quirkiest vehicles of its day, but one of the coolest to say the least. I got a chance review this thanks to one my viewers in Orange County. Today, Im going to walk around and review it, get this thing out on the road…and then Im going to give it a Doug score.
You see, of all the retro vehicles of its time, this was by far one of the coolest. Initially it was supposed to be somewhat of a competitor to the Prowler. Yes, we remember the Prowler, how could we forget. Unfortunately, by the time Wells got the packaging and drivetrain right for its debut in 2002, the Prowler packed its bags and left the party…Bummer. Well, not quite though because see, this car uhhh
Jeep thing or whatever you want to call it was something different.
Despite its looks, this is actually more of a car than a…uhh…Jeep.
Complete with unibody construction and you guessed it, rear wheel drive. Nope, no offroading here. You wouldnt want to either. This Jeep…umm car wasnt designed for that. This was designed for cruising highways and around the city…and hammering waves apparently.
Stepping inside your greeted with not two but FOUR captains chairs, all two-tone like the exterior. And all of them have WaveHammer stitched in them…so you will never forget…your driving a WAVEHAMMER…ok. Having said that, the quality in here is good, not GREAT…but good, by 2002 standards at least. Looking around the interior, this thing just screams SPORT…center armrest front and back…two-tone green and white interior…TWO sunroofs!!!..Fat leather wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel and get this…a 6 speed manual. I cant wait for the drive.
Driving this thing your immediately let down by the 183hp sohc all aluminum v6 that was initially installed in this thing. Its probably the one thing that led to the WAVEHAMMERS early demise. Even though a more potent twin turbo option came out later but it was too little too late. But what would you expect from an engine like that in something weighing 4000 pounds. Aside from that, when pushed, this thing sounds GREAT. But apparently people arent in to SOUNDS.
Alright, so after spending a day with the WaveHammer its to time to give it a Doug score. Starting with the weekend category of stylng this thing scores a 7 out of 10 because of its uniqueness and the fact that it is a pretty cool looking vehicle, in a quirky way. Acceleration isnt fast so it gets a 1 out of 10. Handling is exceptional and gets an 8 out of 10. The fun factor is a mixed bag because it sounds fast but its not so it gets a 4 out of 10. And due to the fact that this vehicle is such a fun car at heart and the fact that its getting harder and harder to find original examples like this one, due to LS swaps, this scores an 8 out of 10 for COOLNESS. Which gives this car a 28 out of 50.
Next up is the Daily category, this thing reasonably equipped so it gets a 6 out of 10. Comfort is good but the ride is a bit to harsh so it gets a 4 out of 10. Quality is good but great so it gets a 6 out of 10. This car is not very practical so it gets a 1 out of 10. Suprisingly these hold their value really well even more so the twin turbo model so it gets a 7 out of 10 giving us a daily score of 24…add it up and it gives us a combined Doug score of 52.

Carriage and Chauffeur review
Carriage and Chaffeur, January 2020 issue
The latest retro concept wave is a welcome sight after the unbearable design drought of the last decade. The first several hits - and near misses - have spurred manufacturers to revive shapes, proportions and even companies from the grave. Our favorite Texans at Arlington Automotive are no exception: They've finally given their luxury division, Somervell, the attention it sorely needed. The Bayonet, a re-imagining of the breathtaking personal luxury coupe from the late 50s, first arrived in 2000 as the first properly unique Somervell product in years. Though based on the Arlington Bearcat sports sedan, this coupe features bespoke sheet metal which hearkens back to the model's illustrious predecessor, a bespoke multi-link suspension and a classy white roof option. This year, though, it's getting a new engine.
This new Bayonet 326 is a direct response to complaints about the base model's 250 hp engine, shared with the Bearcat and the Arlington Foxhound GS8 pony car. The main attraction of the package, which also includes a premium interior and Torsen differential, is a unique 326-cubic-inch, 333-hp engine. The 24-valve, overhead-cam powerplant with forged internals displaces the same volume as the 1950s Somervell V8. Larger tires and a true dual exhaust system also come with the package. There is a choice of gearbox between the standard 5-speed automatic and a no-cost option 6-speed semi-auto. Our test car had an automatic, which is slightly slower to 60, and cost $39,100 as tested.
The Bayonet 326 proved itself a true showman on our road course. The rear end gets out at times, and is cured with the throttle; there is no trace of the Bearcat's nervousness courtesy of the more sophisticated rear suspension. The engine, which is not as aggressively tuned as most sporty V8s, provides on-demand torque as well as a fabulous soundtrack. The suspension is stiff enough for the track, which is a pleasant surprise.
However, the road is where this souped-up retro really comes into its own. The ride is comfortable, there is far less plastic than you'd usually find in a domestic car, and you can even use the rear bench properly - after all, there's a sedan based on this same platform. Why wouldn't the bench be good? The automatic transmission is smoother than Arlington's old 4-speed units, and the car eagerly eats up the miles. The engine is quiet in the cabin, but open the taps even a little at the lights and you will be noticed. Most importantly, it costs half the price of its imported Germanic rivals, and it's certainly not half the car, half the fun or half the power. It's a steal.
