Damn, that shattered Enzo in Europe looks like it was literally ripped in half, I don't even want to think about how fast the guy had to be going to do that or how long it took them to clean him off the highway...

Yeah, considering its a car and it's made by Chrysler. Logically its just a Chrysler.

BTW Its an ME Four-Twelve (it can't run on 4 turbos without the engine)

What rangerman meant is that quality and purpose of products varies with price among the offerings of a company. I'd be surprised to find out that the quality of the components is identical in the $15.000 PT Cruiser and the significantly more expensive Chrysler ME Four-Twelve, bud.

What YOU meant is that internal quality for two products is the same, which is based on the assumption that the manufacturer is oblivious to the market it's selling its car to. This is a ridiculous assumption since competition between firms forces them to be on a certain level of quality forced upon by the competitors, in order to be considered for purchase within its market segment. Chrysler's prototype is a stab at the Veyron, and not at Honda's civic, since they're not on the same level of quality and features.

I'd like to note another related point to this argument. How does Chrysler have the guts to directly compete in the supercar market (say the 4-12 was released) in the same league as the awe-inspiring Bugattis and Ferraris? After all, Chrysler makes its money selling cheap, crappy cars, right? This, sadly, is how far most of us think. What we don't realise is that as much as we rave after Ferraris, other third-world nations rave about that Dodge Caravan. It all depends on what we have and can't have. We naturally want to have what we can't have. I, for instance, work towards realizing my dreams, something I can't have for the moment. If I could have all I've wanted, I'd probably die of an overdose and hit St-Peter in the nuts at the Pearly Gates.

I'd like to note two things


- Thegent is not a fan of Ford.
- Jeremy Clarkson returned his dream car, the Ford GT, not because the car broke down as shipped by Ford, but because of the dealer who failed to properly install the alarm Jeremy requested.

I actually was just trying to say that chrysler makes the car, and nothing can change the name of the company who makes it. If ford makes a car its a ford. That was my entire point, and I have no idea where you came up with that lol

Clarkson actually returned the car cause the electronics were terrible on it. It kept thinking it was being stolen, and the alarm malfunctioned many times.

He did purchase another one though, and the second one worked perfectly. On Top Gear they have never said anything about if the new one was really the same 1st GT fixed, or if it was actually a whole new car. I assume they tore his apart and fixed it, considering the waiting list was larger than the number of cars going to the country.

By the way... it seems the Ferrari he was driving was a STOLEN vehicle, illegally entered into the United States.
It says right there it was stolen.

Well Chrylser built it, so what else do you call it

For now it is just a prototype, but I think it will see production.
