There has never been a movie made by Charlie Sheen called Ray...go to the Internet Movie Data Base and see for yourself. Its called , The Wraith it didn't even have a different title. A wraith is a mysterious ghost or apparition and that is exactly what Charlie Sheen was in the movie....and had a bad *** car, the one that FruityOne linked. Although I have seen it in other places called a Vector...I have a picture of it on my old harddrive that is a Dodge ad from the 80's and the car is called the Vector on it, but I have seen it called the Interceptor, just that Vector came to mind first. It happens though, often times concept vehicles get their names changed a few times. Not to bash Devian

Raif, I meant to say that there was new pictures of it floating around right now, in a different post. I can't find it thoug, maybe it got deleted, it was a bit controversial...and the pictures were actually removed because the originator of the thread had posted way past the three picture maximum. So it means that the car was actually showcased some time recnetly because the guy said it was froma car show he had just gone to.

LIES ALL LIES!

For starters, the car has the same headlight mod as you, which he obviously did first.

Secondly, it sort of reminds me of the car from the movie The Wraith. Your name Reraif, Wraith=raif.

Dramatization:
You were sitting at your house one day in 1986, and LT1Guy called you up and asked you on a date. After some deliberation you and him decided on a movie. The movie of choice was The Wraith, because LT1Guy likes fast cars, and you a teenage crush on then hearthrob Charlie Sheen. Then you recieve your car it is red. You remember the movie vividly and the name Redraif comes to mind. Years later you are still very intrigued by Charlie Sheen and decide to get some pictures of him off the interne, during this you stumble upon this concept trans am which looks the interceptor, you steal the headlight idea and run with. Then you hack the website and become the only person to own copies of said pictures. Which were "lost" because the iomega zip drive is faulty.

This is based off pure scientific method, and is fact.

Listen up sweetie, I am on to you like white on ****.

I am curious though as to how fast the car actually did run. I mean it looks aerodynamic to the max. Would chopping the top and add those fender cover pieces help lower the drag dramatically, or is most of that just appearance only?

Too Funny! :sillylol: That made my day!

Believe it or not I have never seen the movie...but Joe tell me about it. Especially since the names are so close!

Well I guess now I have to rent it just to satisfy my curiosity!

For the most part it is a pretty good movie.

I honestly believe cheesy teen flicks of the 80's were a lot better then cheesey teen flicks now.

The absence of Corey Feldman in today's society makes me sad.

Last time I talked to him I believe he said it was a high 13 second slip or low 14. Either way - it wasn't anything to get excited about.
