    I thought Lighting McQueen was based off a Miata. Then you can say that McQueen is an all American hero in the making, much like the 818. lol

    Please don't tell your kids your818 wants to "bang" the Porsche down the street the Miata in the garage might hook up with a UPS truck & take all your tools with it.

    sorry not sure where I was going with that.

    Oh, my car guy friends, you disappoint me....Lightning was bases on a Viper, and no they don't look like they could be related.

    Unclebigbad-

    Come on now, they could at least be second cousins. You don't see the family resemblance?

    His overall profile was inspired by the Ford GT40. His tail resembles that of a Dodge Viper, while the tail lenses and roof are consistent with a Ford Mustang. The full size tour car is based on a Pontiac Firebird. His custom two-tone paint and tires are from a 50s Chevrolet Corvette.
