I'd think the Dream Lux has a little more GT5 in it, but I dig where you're going!

A local here is the original owner of a robin egg blue Pantera...I drool over it every time it's in my buddy's shop for a little TLC. Hard to believe its 40+ years old. |
They had the same designer...

My 2011 Schwinn Paramount Series 7- Dodge Challenger
It's a (V6) Dodge Challenger with a carbon fiber hood, because it's more cruiser than sports car. It's big, heavy, and doesn't perform worth a damn, but sure looks cool. Yep, this carbon porker tips the local bike shop's scales at a "lithe" 23.5-23.7 lbs. http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...psfba84079.jpg http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/...psaac5c2e2.jpg |
My bike would be Supercar from the 1960's...one of my favorite TV shows as a little kid:
Supercar - Episode 1 - Rescue (Pt1) - YouTube |

Well played!

If my bike were a car, then I would no longer have that bike, so I'd have to ride one of my other bikes.

My bike refuses to be compared to anything so pedestrian as a motor vehicle.

My 2010 Trek Madone = Ford Taurus
there are tons of each, good dependable transportation... but now that i have Campy record on it - then paint some flames on da' hood. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5ZtwESPC9y...ennessey-7.jpg |
Although out of sync time-wise, my Lemond Buenos Aires feels like a Datsun 240Z with contemporary updates. Both are essentially derivative, but created their own following, were fairly inexpensive, workaday sporting vehicles, and even when updated, still show their age, even though they're aging well. Neither was the fastest, the coolest, or the best handling in it's day, and they're also both dead brands.

I've been riding my Merckx Corsa 01 a lot lately. It soaks up the miles so well, and has that lovely mustard/chrome combo, this was the first thing that came to mind.

Because I'm aerodynamic, I put a lot of thought into this...

I've got a Parlee SLi and a Colnago C59....so I'm going with two Yugos.... Why would I put my puny two cylinder underpowered engine in any other car?

While cosmetically they are on different dimensions, they are a pretty accurate analogy in terms of performance...

My '13 Allez Comp M2 compares well with a Lotus Exige.
