^^ However its not called the pt bruiser. The name seems to only be for a body kit and some drag car.

I like the look of the PT... reminds me of an old panel... but FWD and a 4-cylinder engine always made me hate it!! What the hell kind of hot-rod panel truck has a 4 cylinder engine and FWD!?! honestly... chrysler and their cheapness. where will it end.

thanks for all the info guys, i do agree the pt cruizer is a ugly piece of crap, but putting a viper engine in it would make things intresting.

Was it your money? :roll:
Not like there is a shortage of hopped up truck engines. LOL

but putting a viper engine in it would make things intresting.
This is even more interesting.

I've been to the shop that built it. They did the custom exhaust for my friends truck.
BTW, the owner, Jeff Christy, is a pro football player. American football that is. He did play right here in Minnesota for the Vikings. I have no idea if he still does or not.
