Car Spotting Scavenger Hunt Redux. Round Nine on now!!!!!!

[playnthru]

Sleeper= fast, yet, unexpected. Not sure that qualifies as a 'High Performance version'?



Longest car maybe?

 

[ildd]

Here's my current submissions, subject to change.

Sleeper- SRT10 RAM

Longest car- 2nd gen Lincoln Town Car (219 inches)

Lifted truck

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

This stock supercharged?

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Missed a Polo GTi today.

@Gotbeefboy564 No, the G8 was never supercharged to my knowledge.

Would a ford raptor count as a sleeper if it's based on the mundane base F150?

Well, Raptor's aren't known for being fast... they're known for their offroad abilities. But, technically, it is a "high performance" vehicle, sooo...

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I think a Raptor would count.


Also, appearance packages don't count. It has to literally be a high performance version of a car, so no Dodge Grand Caravan Sport's should be posted as the sleeper, k?

 

[GranTurismo916]

Would a WRX count? There's not many cosmetic differences from the Base and WRX.

But I can easily find an SRT-10...

And, Karmann Ghia (Air Cooled) + Expedition (long car, but it's not the longest yet)

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Expedition is an SUV, and therefore doesn't count for the longest car. I don't know enough about WRX's to say if they'd count for the sleeper category or not, but I guess it would.

 

[JMoney]

Sleeper- Chevy Monte Carlo SS

Lifted- Chevy Silverado

It'd be impressive if I got every category with Chevrolets, other than the G Wagon.

 

[Murcie_LP640]

I'd hazard a guess the hot Legacys would be more of a shoe-in for sleeper status than WRXs.

 

[JMoney]

At 230.7 inches, the 1974 Cadillac Coupe Deville

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Damn! You beat my 226.3" car by quite a bit.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

So this ST doesn't count?

 

[ildd]

It's at a dealership. No.

 

[Rage Racer]

Supercharged - Range Rover (the badge on the back leaves no doubt)

Long car (212.37 in / 5,394 mm) - Bentley Arnage
Gotta look for a GAZ Chaika 14 to win this.

Sleeper - BMW X6M, counts?

Gelandewagen - here. Easy.

Now, gotta find something longer than 5,860 mm and I won. A Soviet limo would be great...

 

[JMoney]

Are used car dealerships acceptable? I think they ought to be, since they are basically parking lots with ramdom cars in them.

On a side note, why is everyone's avatar a citreon?

No.

Same reason why my location is Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

 

[JMoney]

So... we are competing to find the longest car.

Has anybody seen the Top Gear episode in which they visit Albania?

 

[GranTurismo916]

Lifted car:

 

[playnthru]

Would a Lexus SC300 qualify as a sleeper?

I know it's not a 'High performance version' exactly. However, isn't it a Supra underneath? THe SC300 signifies a 2JZ engine Or am I confused once again.

 

[ildd]

I thought the supercharged would be easy... Never have I been so wrong.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I've seen at least 3 so far .

I'm gonna have to say no, since it's not a high performance variant of a normal car.

 

[ildd]

@xXKingJoshXx does this clearly represent a supercharged engine? The emblem indicates so but the pic is blurry.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I can't tell. Do the normal non supercharged Range Rovers have those emblems? Someone besides me will have to decide because I don't know anything about them.

 

[disinfected]

Now I just need something air cooled and and I'm good to go.

And I'm 98 percent sure that is the correct supercharged emblem on that Land Rover.

 

[Doog]

I can't tell. Do the normal non supercharged Range Rovers have those emblems? Someone besides me will have to decide because I don't know anything about them.

Normal Range Rovers simply read 'HSE' to the right of the license plate. The Supercharged model has a rectangular sort of plaque in the same spot.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

@ildd That Range Rover will count, then.

--

So far I have a supercharged car, lifted car, and the sleeper. I saw one air cooled vehicle (Corvair) but it was parked in between two cars and we couldn't stop to get a picture.

 

[Doog]

Question: I've only gotten one vehicle (G-Wagen), and it doesn't seem like I'm gonna see anything else interesting this week based off the past few days. Is it even worth posting one spot?
