    Default Two Airforce Inspired Vehicles

    DISCUSS!!!

    Dodge Challenger Vapor

    (Article from revmods.com)
    Apart from the Ford Mustang X-1, Galpin Auto Sports and the U.S. Air Force has developed another custom supercar which is based on the Dodge Challenger.

    The U.S. Air Force and Galpin Auto Sports Dodge Challenger Vapor features stealth-black paint job, an exhaust system
    with two mufflers for further stealth function and solid carbon fiber disc wheels at the exterior.

    To access the interior,the Challenger Vapor requires biometric verification and once inside, one can see the supercar comes with a command center cockpit with three large LCD monitors and a windshield that can display the night and thermal vision.

    Other features of the Dodge Challenger Vapor is that it can be remotely controlled from the Air Force’s Unmanned Aerial Vehicles system which can be accessed worldwide via the internet.

    Ford Mustang X-1

    (Article from revmods.com)

    Galpin Auto Sports, car tuner from the US, in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force have built a custom Ford Mustang known as the Mustang X-1 for the 2009 Super Car Tour.

    Inside, the U.S. Air Force and Galpin Ford Mustang X-1 features a fighter jet cockpit with a single ejector seat, a flight stick in the middle to replace the steering wheel and custom air intakes at the rear side windows that feed air to the air conditioning unit located behind the single seat.

    At the exterior, the Mustang comes with new wide bodykit. The car is also fitted with a new suspension system and competition wheels and tires.

    The U.S. Air Force and Galpin Auto Sports Ford Mustang X-1 is powered by the 4.6-liter normally aspirated V8, 3-valve Ford Racing heads engine to produce 500 hp.

    there's elements of both that like, but i'm not really feeling the whole concept.

    i bet that mustang is either impossible to drive or crazy easy lol. there's certainly no in between.

    Ugly and ricey, I don't know how they pulled off such ugliness with cars that I thought were the best looking generations to date.

    I like em. I agree that the Mustang has to be interesting to drive. I dont like the wheels on the challenger.

    since when is flat black paint... stealth paint..... ha ha ha and night and thermal vision...wtf. who comes up with this crap. both cars are useless and quite retarded. a c130 flight deck looks more high tech than this garbage. and what are those missles in the trunk or somthing.

    great example of the airforce wasting money.


    they should have let whoever built the two vehicles actually see a cockpit.....

    Pretty cool idea I must say! I like them both. Although im sure these are just show cars. But something cool to show off and bring the moral up with in the armed forces!
