Default Mach 5 Conversion

Is this cool, or a waste of a good C4?

Cool for those old enough to remember the original speed racer cartoon! Are you thinking of building one?

Looks like stir-fried *** to me...but to each his own. BTW post. Someone posted the car up about a month ago.

Cool! I loved Speed Racer, Trixie, Spridal, Chim Chim, Pops, Racer X. That show was BOSS in '68 and I'm not afraid to say so!!!!!!

keep real cars on the road, and the cartoon cars - well, in the cartoons! if somebody thinks they need that, for whatever reason, they should seek professional help!

My mom says that my white '93 looks like Mach 5. I can see it though, it does kind of look like it. I'd say take those ugly rims off the car in that picture and you have a pretty nice car!

If you're interested, the original is in the Petersen Automotive Museum and is mid-engined

I like how he can't tell the sellers of the pristine C4 that he plans on chopping it up to make a cartoon car.

I wonder if he would build one for me if I told him I were going to take off the goofy tail fins, paint it black, and make a street rod out of it.

Or better yet, use that pristine drive train to make a Corvette out of it.
