    If they can successfully structurally put a Viper engine into a PT, it'd only be a short step to displace the Hemi in, err, on this:

    There's some damn awesome vehicles there! My faves would be the Tomahawk, Defender, Sniper and that Jeep CJ! However, you missed one of my other favorites: the Dodge Ram T-Rex concept. Come on, Viper v10 connected to 6wd!

    @ShotgunAlex: I'm pretty sure the T-Rex Concept used the standard iron block 8.0L V10 from the regular truck line, although you could argue that its a Viper motor in a way.....

    I can't be the only one who has a sick, demented love for the XJS which actually has fewer cylinders than it came with from the factory...can I?

    There's a PT Cruiser with that same paint scheme around here.


    I think it's just a 2.4 turbo, though. Shame.


    Anyway, I found your Defender...

    PT/10 Cruiser???


    Ya... because 465+ lb/ft of twist in a Neon chassis designed to handle less than 1/4 of that is SUCH a great idea.

    Personally, I'd put the Tomahawk a bit higher on the list. After all, who would expect the actually company to do something as bat-shit crazy? I don't think custom shops are even that insane.

    Those were the glory days, alright. When Chrysler just didn't give a damn.


    And if you add the 300 concept, I nominate the Firepower.

    The PT/10 Cruiserpage is cool but you can't put the tailgate down to get better fuel economy.
