Hey, that's not too bad looking.- Mike

Where did those come from??

Hey, that looks pretty cool. That's some good Photoshop work there.

[Frosty]

I call photoshop too

That has to be photoshop....look at the door line on the side panal...looks really rigid to me!

Hey, can you do a convertible too?

[NovaResource]

Well, actually it's not Photoshop, it's just Microsoft Paint. I think a 2-door Vibe looks good. Hopefully, a real one will be made one day. I'm hoping with a V6 and about 220-hp.

[Lori19]

Would wings and landing gear be standard with that?

[BanditWS6]

How about the supercharged 3800-series from the GTP? I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

That could work but I was thinking of keeping the Toyota drivetrain and going with a tuned version of the 3.4L DOHC V6 from the Tacoma/Tundra trucks: 190 hp @ 4,800 rpm; 220 lb.-ft. @ 3,600 rpm Lot's a torque down low.For a more refined engine with about the same torque (but at a higher RPM) and more hp you could use the 3.0L DOHC VVT-i V6 from the Avalon and Sienna: 210 hp @ 5,800 rpm; 220 lb.-ft. @ 4,400 rpmA third choice would be the 3.0L DOHC V6 from the Camry Solara: 200 hp @ 5,300 rpm; 214 lb.-ft. @ 4,400 rpm
