misterZ Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Thought I'd share this with everyone. The US Air Force is always looking for ways to boost recruiting so they took on this project w/ Galpin Auto Sports ('Mad Mike' from MTV's Pimp My Ride) to build two amazing supercars from a stock `09 Challenger and Mustang. They stripped both cars down and added modifications to incorporate some of the coolest AF inovative technologies into the cars. There are three 'chapters' (videos) following the progression of modifications to completion and can be viewed here. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Fantastic use of my tax dollars in a recession :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gb20 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I for 1 thought that was awesome! Those cars are amazing. I am a huge fan of Mustangs but that Challenger was SWEET! I especially like the heads up display. Drivng in complete darkness using the thermal imaging would be fun, not to metion a good way to evade the police on those long dark stretches of road. I mean a great way not to disturb your neibors in the middle of the night. As for wasting tax dollars during a recession... I think it is a very good recruitment tool for the Airforce. They are doing something to get potential reqruits interested. Showing them some of the skills they would have the opportunity to gain by joining. Could get someone interested that never realized the other aspects of the military other then just fighting. Not mention giving them the skills to have a succesful life after the Air Force. Just my opinion, I'm no expert, I could be wrong. I'll take one of each, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gb20 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 No politics, guy's. Sorry, my bad. I wonder if I could get the technology to put that HUD in my Z:). Maybe add in a targeting system to pick out any troopers. It would sure make the 6hr drive from Vegas to Salt Lake a lot more entertaining.
