^^ The tiburon looks like alot of sports cars. That was the idea behind the design. It looks like a cross between a stingray and a viper.

I agree with mad john. A big lack of horsepower for a Hennessey Viper and where are the twin turbo charge pipes?

dangit... I didn't see that little text until I hit the reply button.



here's a picture of a stingray.. because I took the time to find it.

yeah, If you take that car, streamline it like the Viper and put the viper tail lights on it, move the cab foreward and hard top it, you've got a RD-1.

Keep in mind this car is from the same generation as the batmobile, where they made everything non-aerodynamic, exagerated, and rocketship-like...

Take the sting ray and smooth it out a bit at these points, remove the gaudy strip down the hood and move the cab foreward. You've got the upper portion of the tiburon. The rest kinda designs itself. The Viper dashboard is quite similar to a tiburon.
