I agree on Boyd. He is a jackass. His show makes him
look like even more of one. I have to disagree on
Chip though. From what I have looked through,
including his Riddler Cars, he looks to stay true to
tradition and the lines of the car. No matter what
vintage or brand it is. He does put his own flare on
it, but that is what he is paid to do. As far as the
engine, I can't answer that one. If it were on the
show? Could be.
