very nice car...known to me for ages...
There was an English serial"stars key and hutch"the car used in that had same white stripe..
This car used to fascinate me a lot...
Only one of its kind in town...

ahahah its been like this since the beginning of her time in pakistan, i just mingled with it a little..it had simple matte paint, but this time ive gone for a lil more than just the simple looks =)

mehrozniazi1 (Mehroz Khan Niazi) 2009-10-14 17:20:00 +0600 #14

silver top is like around 150hp

so u will be getting around 100whp..

0-100 will be under 7 seconds

I believe it was a Dodge Charger, not a Gran Tourino. Here are some pix of the Charger:
