Oh, great !!! Savannah mirrors on the original Batmobile painted in circus colors !

I wouldn't be caught driving that anywhere. I can't wait to see if Snapshot thinks this is where "form meets functionality" or not.

It auctioned for $190,000

But I think it can be had for much less if ordered. I think it had 435 HP

Yeah, but Grimes, Batman had Robin as his bitch...Speed had Trixie!!!!

there are many bad things about it:
its a GM
its a piston powered vehicle
its got a 350 in it (not an impressive motor.... the ls7 is somewhat impressive and thats the newest one)
its ugly
its got nasty looking gay *** chrome wheels
one thing thats cool:
nothing

I'd like to see a 7 get clocked doing 145mph in third, with a top speed of over 180mph AND still be street legal!!

Besides, I did say "trade". Now I love my Rex, but I'm no moron...HELL YES I'd trade my 7 for a 5! Otherwise, it'd be like saying I wouldn't trade my girlfriend for Jessica Simpson just because I love her!!! Who needs love when you can be eating Chicken of the Sea with a blond bombshell after a long love session!

Sweet!
I wonder if it comes with that "trunk monkey" security system pre-installed like the original?

Exactly! Would I trade..YES...then I would sell it, buy back my seven, and have enough money left over for a lot of FDs, mods, and money left over for whatever.

I remember Speed Racer, and no I would not trade.

Why would you traide a car that is one of the great achivments of the automotive industry for a novelty car because that is exactly what you are getting a novelty.

It would be like buying a replica of Homer's car from the Simpsons episode where he designes it...

Its just a novelty nothing of real substance. Becides if I am gonna buy a Corvette it is damn well gonna look like one.

26b with AWD and the stealth fighter coatings might generate some interest.

That thing is ugly as hell theres nothing on the face of this earth that would make me trade my car for that thing. Besides theres nothing special about doing 145 in 3rd with a top of over 185mph. I have a 67 firebird convirtable. With a small block 400 with all the bells and whistles including 2 255 carter carburators. It has 48 inches of rubber in the rear and has been dinoed to have 670 HP at the rear wheels. It can spin that 48 inches of rubber in 3 gears like a hot knife through butter. Not only that but I have had it ove 185 mph with tonnes of room under my foot on the throttle and the floor. And in my opinion my dark metallic green firebird is way nicer...faster...and isn't ugly as hell. 185 mph is nothing and I wouldn't trade my 7 for that if it would save the world!!!

I agree with this ^. No trade, now if they wanted to give it away that's another thing. I'd sell it to the low bidder.
