T1GHT WH!P$ TROPHY TRIVIA

[Sixty8panther]

In the next few weeks I'm going to post 59 different trivia questions

of all different forms on C&G. Multiple choice, photo identification,

photo match up & even some true or false. Some questions will be

multiple part and others a simple one word answer.

At the end of the 59 individual trivia thread questions all the winners

will be added up and a trophy will be mailed via the USPS to the

over all winner of the first annual Tight Whips Trivia Trophy.

Best of luck to all, I encourage everyone to participate.

T.W.T.T. Thread #18

Yet another "name the manufacturer" question.

- Recently came back from beyond the grave

- Their vehicles feature wheels inspired by a plane's propeller blades

- Along with their V8 models they also now offer a 12 cylinder model

- 6 different models available for sale right now

- This exotic's dashboard shares a design cue with the 2nd gen. Firebird

- Competed at & finished in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2003

- Sounds like a car 'Vlad the Impaler' would drive :wink:

Spyker C8 Double 12R.

Wow. I'd never even heard of that brand.

[the_yellow_dart]

p.s. What's the 2nd-gen Firebird connection, I couldn't find that...

[the_yellow_dart]

Ohhhh yeah!

I'm catching up, little Fly...

hehehe

Or a new Grand Prix GXP

[balthazar]

Or the '64 GTO.

[Sixty8panther]

I forgot about the Tempest-based GTO's dash...

Until I see the GXP's dash in person I will not pass

judgement but on the website it does not look all

that great in terms of layout & use of the

faux-brushed-aluminum.

[Olds Guy]

But it does use the same design cue, the machined finish aluminum look.

98 MPH @ 1000 RPM???

98 MPH @ 1000 RPM???

I am pretty sure that only happens when you pop it into neutral at 100 MPH!

[Sixty8panther]

Unless the gear ratio is about ten times lower than

the cars that run the Bonneville Salt Lake Flats.

That photo was posted here earlier at C&G by one of our members. It is his car, and he admitted (with a chuckle) that he doctored the photo.

[Olds Guy]

I like to see who notices!

Yes, photoshop was employed.

Actual speed was about 25 mph.
