Everybody's entitled to their opinion. Me personally, I can't stand any gold plating at all on street cars. But to me, this is not like just plating your emblems ... it reminds me of cars like the '76 Trans Am (Smokey and the Bandit edition) in the fact that it's not a Mickey Mouse color scheme; just black and gold ... "black gold" aka: oil. It's pulled off extremely well and is great for promotion. It will gather a lot of attention!

There is a VA guy that has a Supermade hatch with some gold plating under the hood. It's baller for sure.

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

That's a lot of bling to sling down a track at triple digit speeds.

Engine bay is sexy. I can appreciate anything with that level of detail. But the entire car...

ehhh

[MellowZ32]

I'm waiting in teh possum's opinion so I can post this.....

[Mr1der]

McLaren did it first!



gold is actually a fantastic for insulation.

[tigersharkdude]

Seriously Im sick and tired of ppl on every forum bringing up the mclaren f1 when taking about this bimmer. You think they are using gold for its good insulation on the ****ing valve stems

[Mr1der]

don't get all butthurt sweetie

look at the pictures taken of the car, it's clearly not for function...especially if it's a "drag" car

[tigersharkdude]

well everyone over Tennspeed is talking about this purpose built "drag car" Im sick of seeing this thing, its everywhere. The only thing I like on it is the painted grill and headlights. Oh and screw the 4-rotor motor, Im sure it will blow up

they're idiots.

that's money well wasted on a drag car as it's got plenty of time to cool down between runs...

but it's Tennspeed we're talking about here

[themadscientist]

I'd rock it. It looks pimp as hell.

[sx moneypit]

Needs a gold pine tree air freshener and it will be pimp.

[dre1507]

me personally have always hated the full drag car look, but i do like the gold plating on that car.

[Mr1der]

I didn't know there was a full drag car "look"

stupid trailer queen show cars....

[dre1507]

I didn't know there was a full drag car "look"

Drag radials, wheelie bar, parachute, and all the other drag-specific mods.

[themadscientist]

What, a stuffed bra?

[Rev_D21]

Give it some time and it will be tarnished green.
