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.

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

Ohhhh yeah!

I'm catching up, little Fly...

hehehe

Or a new Grand Prix GXP

Or the '64 GTO.

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.

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

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

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.

I like to see who notices!

Yes, photoshop was employed.

Actual speed was about 25 mph.
