nice vega if you're lucky enough you might find one that you don't even need to stretch the chassis for haha.

edit: what is this, a concept funny car?

i have no idea. its quite ugly.

ive been all over ebay and google for hours and HOURS.

the model i want is rare and retired and sells for about 160-200 bucks!!

I found a couple resin body shells for 60 bucks but i dont think they include glass or any of the other detailed parts of the car.

and then i found diecast for 10 bucks! but i dont want metal. But ive found a few that im bidding on right now. they might need one chassis spacer, but they are plastic and very detailed. the only problem is they are pre-built. so ill have to carefully take them apart. but for 20ish bucks. (im guessing thats what i can get one for) im going to give it a shot

[NETC_redd]

yeah i saw those too, good luck with the bidding

i'm on a hunt for a Ford Probe model. It's very rare but I have heard of them. And I mean a 93-97 one, not the older, boxier ones.

Thanks! first one ends in 3 and a half hours! hopefully i get it!

[NETC_redd]

not if I get it first! no...just kidding...don't hurt me...

I have a '69 Camaro and Dodge Charger models sitting here waiting for me to finish them...hmmmm...

ignore the retard talking in the background, he was trying to impress my girl friend.... like the loser he is... pretty sure she is more crazy for the guy driving the car that he can "almost" (more like get his *** handed too him by over 1.5 seconds) than him. haha

if his car's almost as fast as that, then you can take him in the ranger by over 1.5 seconds?

if you only knew the kid i was talking about... you would want to punch him in the face just thinking about him... he is a complete douche bag.

He has a 2007 wrx with a down pipe, front mount, intake, and a utec. He tunes his own motor (which he sucks *** at may i add)

he might make 240 whp at VERY MAX if he is lucky. He might run a 13.7 quarter mile. i run a 12 flat 1/4. We were racing 1/8th mile that day. i was sand bagging to stay at 8 flats (it was brk racing, and i was in the 8 second class) His car balls to the wall might run a 8.7.

He's that type he thinks he knows everything, he always has to have his hands into everything, and always thinks his **** is gold. He is always claiming he has atleast 350hp at the wheels and thats why he has gone threw 3 transmissions. He doesnt understand launch control on a stock transmission is whats breaking his car..

When were at car shows, if im explaining my buddys car that i built to someone, david will jump in and cut me off and start talking about it like he built it and knows everything about it... He has never touched a single bolt on that car!... kid is just a douche bag. so he was trying to brag/show off to my gf who was filming...

Is a 1993 Mustang a car that was manufactured before 1980? That should answer your question.

sorry if this is considered as spam for having a very obvious answer, but i'm checking just in case....

Custom chassis' are allowed as long as they are based off an Xmod platform and use mostly Xmods parts. Chassis' such as the MRCG, however, are not allowed since they are based off of a MiniZ.

When it uses mostly Xmods parts then it's considered an Xmod.

All Competitions are thought of by the Moderating Staff. If you have a suggestion, you may mention it to me via Private Message and then the Staff will then review it. Chances are, we already have your suggestion (or at least something near it in a broader sense).



You all must remember that all of these submissions are subject to Xmodsource Moderating Staff approval. If we feel your submission does not comply with the Rules set in place, then it will not be allowed into the competition. This is an Xmodsource Competition, if it's mostly based around and Xmod and it falls under the category set for that months competition, then you're probably set. Just follow the rest of the Rules and you should be fine.

Also, if you're not me or one of the other Xmodsource Staff, do not answer questions posted in this thread unless you can directly quote them from either me or the rules. All you'll do is confuse people.

Cheers,
Kyle.

Edit: Come on no El Camino, thats real stupid. Can you lift a El Camino, can you go major muddin' with an El Camino, can you throw some large super swampers on an El Camino, no, so it shouldnt be considered a truck, it should be considered a car. I had a old friend at my secondary school that had a 69 El Camino, it/still is the CAR of his life.

It has a full sized bed, it could tow and haul, it was advertised as a truck from Chevy. You can lift an El Camino, you can toss some big tires on it too. But should that be what defines what is a truck? Hell, I can lift a Maxima and toss big tires on it too, is it a truck now?


If you don't like it, don't enter.

i agree... you can lift anything.. the el camino was a muscle car... and a nice one at that too.. and it could also be a truck... cause there are lowered trucks.. but what is the definition of a muscle car? well in my book it is a car with a powerful engine, fast, lower to the ground than a truck, and looks like a car... an el camino looks like a car, is low to the ground and fast...

[Donziikid]

Next person to mention El Camino + Muscle Car gets three points. The Staff has spoken and said it is not allowed. If you still disagree, maybe a few points will help you think clearly.

[texan_idiot25]

A car has a trunk. A truck has a bed. The end.

Well to turn the spirit of things around in this thread thats heading south. Guess what i got!!!




Im really mad its prebuilt... but i have a TON of plans for it. First being ripping it apart! Gotta see if i can hold my title 2 months in a row!

and mods... if you dont classify this as a muscle car... im going to be sooo mad
This is the true deffinition of muscle

[NETC_redd]
