It doesn't have to be a real production car, it can also be a concept.

For me, it has to be the 1997 Dodge Copperhead. This ugly chungus just speaks to me and I don't know why. It is hideous, Pontiac Aztek levels of ugly, but I kinda wish Dodge actually sold it. It wasn't going to be gutless, sharing much with the Viper, but it also wasn't going to have the same price of the Viper (Viper at the time was ~$75k, this baby would have been ~$30k). For the price, a little ugly isn't that big of a deal for a similar powertrain. Surely a facelift kit could help it out some.

Just thought a discussion like this could be fun. What cars are the same for you?

I grew up with a Brat! It was beat to hell and we took it everywhere. We went on tank trails and through shallow rivers and places we had no right being. I loved that thing so much. Would love to get one and fix it up.

YES! Love that Pastrana was insistent on the Brat for this Gymkhana.

RIP Ken Block. I think Pastrana is a worthy successor to him for the gymkhana series.
