GT1 
That is one car I would love to see in person. Hopefully I can make a trip to Europe sometime and visit all of the auto museums and factories out there. I would start with Lamborghini of course though

I cant get myself to like supertroopers169's Charger R/T.
it feels so dated; not to mention in stock form not all that fast.
heavy, horrible on gas, weak suspension
but i guess going WOT makes up for all of the short comings?
I drove my friends 6.0 GTO.
and honestly; i was less than impressed.
for the MPG i was getting it wasnt all that fun.

I was talking to dealer on a 2012 300C SRT8 (out-of-state). It had everything, even had screens in the headrest. Black on Black, talked him down to $38k OTD. After riding in my BIL's 300C Hemi.. I just couldn't pull the trigger. The adrenaline factor wasn't there. I still regret it sometimes because it was such a nice car and a super deal. eh..

its just old and not even that exciting looking.
the seat of the pants feel must be different if they are keeping them.
i do however enjoy the new 300 SRT.
i am disappointed with The Judge.
I mean; yeah the exhaust note and the torque was nice but... thats all.
the chally SRT was different.
maybe because it was offered in 6MT.
I want a v8 but not at the expense of heft and weak ass suspensions...

You like the new 300 SRT8? Shit, I should have passed the deal on to you. 
I like it too but my buddies 550i and WRX have more kick..

Challenger was a lot more fun to drive though (as compared to the Mustang 5.0)....it will do some awesome burnouts 
Mustangs have come a long way but they still have a long way to go

The fact that Chevrolet had to come out with a 7.1 L engine to compete with Fords 5.0 L engine in order for the Camaro to finally beat the mustang is quite sad for Chevy.
I will remain a Ford guy.
But the Challenger is probably one of the nicest looking cars on the road at the current moment.

All I did was change the splash screen. I found this in the nav hack thread:
http://www.guicide.com/cars/2006civic/nav/hacks/
It's basically the same procedure, but the file names are slightly different. The only trouble I had was getting the image in the right format. Modifying the dimensions in paint is easy enough, but getting the colors right is tricky! It needs to be saved as a 256 color bitmap. I can't find the program I used on my PC, but basically, the program needs to be able to detect the colors in an image and generate a palette for the bmp file for minimal color loss.
