Anyone seen the new car craft Demon Project car?
Oh and it's called HOT RODDING, F "brand loyalty"!...Sound like a bunch of the HAMB Nazis.
Maybe I've been spending too much time on the HAMB, but it's a muscle car. There's a lot of things you can do to a muscle car, but "hot rodding" isn't one of them. Swap in any engine you like, its still a muscle car. Change all the suspension, upgrade everything along the way, maybe it's a "resto-mod" or a "pro-touring" car. I mean, how do you hot rod a muscle car? Drop in a big block? A hemi? They came that way from the factory! Dropping in a Chevy engine serves no purpose. It doesn't make it faster, lighter, or better in any way. And unless you go out of the way to modify the bodywork, I don't see how it can be a hot rod. Show me a chopped, channeled, sectioned or frenched muscle car that looks like something other than a chopped up musclecar and I'll consider revising my opinion.
Until then, its lame. It's being done because 1. CC has LS1 engines given to them for free, and 2. It will stir up publicity, which in today's world quickly translates to pissing off as many people as possible. Mopar guys will hate it, Chevy guys will hate it, and Ford guys will be mildly amused at the finished atrocity because they escaped the carnage. Bottom line is, it will sell magazines, so the end result doesn't matter, because CC is in the business of selling magazines, not building cool cars. When they're done with the project, they'll yank the LS1 to drop in their next project and the Demon will sit in a corner until they come up with another nightmare to visit on the poor thing.
And on that note,I won't be buying Car Craft anytime soon.
