The car above is Chrysler’s Concept 70X with parallelogram doors. You can see a bunch more vintage show pics at the Chicago Auto Show site (unfortunately they are a lot smaller).   Tags: Bumper Covers  Thu, 27 Mar 2008 06:37:41 +0100 http://www.blogigo.com/parts/cool-old-pics/17/ http://www.blogigo.com/parts/cool-old-pics/17/   There are a few cool old pics from the Chicago Auto Show on Flickr .

It's fast huh? Imagine that." Well, if there was ever a vehicle which deserves to be called a big engine with wheels, it's the Dodge Tomahawk concept.

"One major reason for all the gossip is that, as a private company, Chrysler now operates with a far lower public profile than it used to. Outsiders eagerly pounce on every piece of news that dribbles out." Rumors include everything from predictions of impending doom for Chrysler stock, to the possibility of Ford merging with Chrysler, keeping the Jeep brand and some of the minivans, and then ditching everything else. Me? I'm predicting Chrysler will sell every Challenger they can build in 2008.   More at Fortune .

I read a story over on Automotive Traveler about the meet, which was attended by more than 600 Chrysler LXs (Chrysler 300C, Dodge Magnum and Charger), and where Dodge execs from Auburn Hills premiered the first production-spec 2008 Challenger while blues rocker Kenny Wayne Shepard took the wraps off of his latest Mopar, a bitchin' pro-street '72 Charger powered by a new-gen 6.1-liter SRT8 Hemi V8.

But there are some guys who turn british understatement upside down by swapping, for example, a Pontiac V8 into a '69 TR6. Or a Buick V8 in a '74 Lotus Elise. So, if your heart beats for orginal matching numbers cars, don't go to www.britishv8.org !

Yep, it's a RWD xB with a stroked 350 putting out 400 hp. Other than the Weld Draglites (which look killer on this car IMO) it's a total sleeper.

It will mostly take the Fuse concept one step closer to production, and could very well be the replacement for the tC coupe.

It looks hot in orange, too. Let's hope they end up making something like it.

And I was glad to see that they had already rolled out the Hako concept front and center.. Oh, and I see there is a lot of hate on the Hako concept. I agree that the windshield is a bit absurd, but it is a pretty cool little car.

At the exterior, the AS4 is fitted with front skirt, side skirts, 4-pipe rear muffler, rear skirt and rear spoiler. The Abt Sportsline AS4 is powered by the new 1.8 TFSI which produces 200 bhp instead of 160 bhp from the stock. The power could be further increase to 240 bhp with the installation of Abt Power S. This made possible with the help of a turbocharger instead of the serial charger.

Will the inaugural Gymkhana USA event join this hallowed list or will it be cast asunder in the annals of history much like the dropping of Nads' right tittie? In other words, will gymkhana be the next big thing, or just the next thing? For those of you without the proclivity for obscure YouTubage, gymkhana is essentially autocross on steroids. At first glance, a gymkhana and an autocross course may look identical, with cones strewn about a parking lot or other such paved area. However, the gymkhana course kicks things up a notch with even tighter turns sometimes requiring competitors to complete figure eights, slide...
