Default Most badass 142 ever.

We've all seen this car:



I've found a total of three or four videos of it over the years.

Post all of 'em you can find here, along with any links. This is my favorite car. Ever. There is no contention. . .

Please post ONLY videos and links of this car or people/places directly associated.

i love the frenched bumpers, tubs, motor, everything...everything but that chop. ive always thought it looked stupid. the front end needs to be longer for that to look good.

just my opinion.

The car basically looks like total ass, but it goes like stink so it's ok. I have a poster of it in the garage.

I like the ideas in the car and the running gear...but the "chop" and paint job are just not for me.

I like the chop solely because it is unique and original. I haven't quite decided if I like it yet or not...
But i'd definitely take it anyday:P

You can hardly see the side of the block, but I'm saying it looks like the BLOCK is custom.

that is beyond ridiculous. badass, yes. chopped top, not great. engine, makes me poop. however, my neighbor's 142 should be pretty tits when he drops a t5 and an m90 in it.
