    Taxpayer money wasted, Courtesy of the USAF.

    It is BS like this, overly lavish government buildings, “free” healthcare etc.. that politicians use to make government seem cool, so the people won’t mind the slow take over of our lives by the bureaucrats.

    WTF is it with the government and their photo propaganda?
    First, the jets buzzing the Statue of Liberty and now this Stealth Challenger that flies under the radar of fiscal sensibilities.

    Shouldn’t Mel Gibson be standing next to that with a sawed-off shotgun in his hand and a scruffy dog next to his leg?

    This is silly, the Air Force already has the coolest stuff on the planet.

    Nothing will attract a crowd of people like an F-16 Falcon, or a B-52 bomber. But if you don’t have the room for that, just bring in an ejection seat and some cruise missiles.

    Whatever you do, don’t spend money on a car. When you go to the auto show, one of the best exhibits is the Army with it’s M2 Bradley fighting vehicle. They don’t need a decked out car…just a tank.

    Actually the biggest problem is the trademark infringement from Chryslers former former owners…

    Omigod… even in a photoshop the door seams are crooked, and big enough to slide an Archie Double Digest through.

    This does not bode well for Government Motors.

    Unless this is a protype in disguise (and it ain’t)-

    They should have bondo’d in the rear fenders, fixed the door gaps and put some paint on it instead of showing it in primer. All that Government money and they couldn’t even run ‘er down to Earl Scheib’s place(Is he still in business?). And what’s with the roof rack?

    Oh, I understand it’s supposed to be a stealth fighter, but where I grew up a showing a muscle car painted in primer to a cop was waving a red cape at a bull…. Anti-stealth.

    Congress wouldn’t give them enough money to buy more F-22 Raptors, so they got the, uh…next best thing? Hmmm. On the brighter side, I suppose, it’s a 4-wheeled argument for military acquisitions reform.

    This vehicle is used in a military recruitment campaign and is thus no different from any other advertising or marketing that the military chooses to spend its budget on.

    To me it looks like a bad backyard job but I guess its no worse than the “Army of one” slogan.

    @ Lokkii :

    Actually I think that is radar absorbing paint. Sure this thing is a pointless waste of money, but damn I want some radar absorbing paint and nightvision bad enough to lust after that thing.

    Two thoughts:

    1) There is already a F22 styled Lamborghini, right? Why not use that one?

    2) Is this thing truly stealth? I mean, it could be useful against police radar gun.

    What’s the camera thing on the top? Anyone notice those propeller-like wheels?

    Whether Americans like it or not, Americans paid for it with tax dollars.

    The problem with this is that the Air Force is using it (NASCAR, “Xtream” sports, video games) to entice young Americans to enlist. OK, marketing what it is and the very real need to protect the nation aside, THESE ARE EXACTILY THE PEOPLE THE AIR FORCE DOES NOT WANT!

    These kids join and quickly find out that you can’t drive fast, you can’t do extreme sports, you can’t be reckless, you can’t drink, you can’t smoke, you can’t gamble, you can’t get hookers, you can’t get tatoos…

    …you are beaten down until you act like a ’50’s TV character. “Golly Sarge, you wanna join us at the malt shop for a soda?”
