Funny car bodies I'd like to see.... (1 Viewer)

[HEMI6point1]

There are cars that would be awesome if someone would actually make a funny car body of:

1. Cadillac CTS-V coupe.

2. Chevy Camaro.

3. Dodge Challenger.

4. Mercedes C63 AMG.

5. New charger (the old one is from 2006... time to update)

I always thought the FC body for chevy should be the Vette... and not the Chevette...lol

I think the reason for not seeing the Corvette is that every time someone tries to run one, it blows up.

Didn't Bruce Larson win a championship in a Corvette?

Nope, the year he won the title his SENTRY car was an Olds Cutlass.

In my opinion, any Corvettes after the model Mongoose ran with English Leather sponsorship look terrible as a Funny Car.

GOOD

BAD

Rug Doctor was a Cutlass also. The car above was a Vette.

Do you think anybody would recognize the difference???

Exactly Joe! The only noticeable difference nowadays is the vinyl that depicts the grill of the car.

1989 pisano black cutlass....best ever, body & paint, which includes hand
lettered contingency sponsors (when they let you do that)

He ran a Cutlass mainly, but did run a Rug Doctor Camaro as well while driving for Check Etchells.

You can thank Jim Epler for that, but I never like it as an FC body, would of worked better for PS same with the CTS. How bout an XLR PS or a Nissan GTR?

I would like to see a Dodge Dart body on an fc. I also think think the Chevy Cruze would work. Even the Ford Taurus. Even Lamborghini or Ferrari would look nice as a thin body, but I dont think the target would fit with the market.

If I remember right, that car is in the Smithsonian museum, along with one of Big's Swamp Rats.

I'd vote for the Cruze!!!

I'd like to see any body that actually looked the like the real car it was based on, and that goes for the carbed funny car class they laughingly call "Pro/Stock"

Most Lamborghini or Ferrari owners aren't at the drag races. They're usually at the country clubs enjoying their wine and cheese. So yeah, drag racing is not their target market.

What's with all the wine and cheese bashing?
