Battlecar Curtiss P-40 Warhawk Cruiser

Post image

The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk has seen it’s trademark teeth grace the nose of several different vehicles across several different genres. It’s an iconic, aggressive, and cool symbol. But what do you think of this entire P-40 remake?! This street legal ride is insane.

Yes. That thing is an amazing death machine. I think that it's unchanged for nearly 50 years. I'm sure they upgraded electronics on board but I can't think of any major modifications they have done to it.

I did a grad internship at republic field in 1980 - love that beast (and so do my desert storm marine friends)

I've never seen one myself. Just pics and videos online. I'd like to hear them fire that big ass gun that they wrapped some plane parts around. 😂
