Anyone speak Russian?

This is a nasty looking ride, but finding an oil filter here in the States might be a little difficult.

0—100 êì/÷ 6,56

0-100 kph is 6.56 Not bad. And it has some very Classic lines. Very toothy grill.

It'll take a few seconds for the translation to appear.

Kinda looks like a cross between a new Thunderbird and an old Studebaker Hawk...

Interesting that the Russians are building a "performance" car now...be even MORE interesting to drive one...or run one against a Marauder...

[LincMercLover]

Ahh... The old Hawks. Now there's a car worth some bucks!

Hey, the Russian Mafia needs something! :D

[Mark McQuaide]

I like it. The new T-Bird should look more like this. The suspension looks pretty soft though - lots of body roll and squat from the pictures. Nice to see the Ruskies catching up and making something people actually want to buy.

[WolfeBros]

Did you notice the body roll on that sucka ??
Bet they say its a rocketship in a straight line.....:P

[MAD-3R]

Hey, some stiffer springs, and some Kenny Brown Sub frames, and give a Viper a run :) Have it running Nascar in no time. :D

[UncleLar]

Watch out if those boys who design Migs ever get a serious bug to build a real high performance car and get ahold of some real money!

[CRUZTAKER]

BOLCHEVICKY PREDUT!!!!!!!!!!!! GAVNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My father is a linguist. He translated Russian transmissions in the Air Force during the cold war.

Uhhhhh, ok, ...........if you say so. :P

Seriously!
He is actually fluent in 8 languages.

But I am surprised he has ANY brain cells left after the stories I've heard of his escapades in Turkey and London in the late 50's. I thought I was bad in the late 70's. Perhaps this is why there were some IQ points shaved from my score. I can barely speak the queens english........

:lol:

The apple fell......from a HIGH tree!

[sep10]

oh yeah ? The boys in Russia are now ahead of L-M people in Detroit w/ that baby.
Oh what new depths to sink.

For anyone who's interested, here are a couple more links:

The builder (http://www.alevel.ru/index_eng.php)

Unfortunately, it's not "really" a Russian car; it's a BMW 850 Csi, with new sheet metal...

There's a silver version of the background car sitting in my garage back in Ukraine collecting dust right now... We left it locked up there after moving to the US in 1995... that car is a tank! Many parts are direct bolt ons from Russian "GAS" (brand name) trucks, not too shabby for a I-4 cylinder!
