No Autobot insignia, no care :roll: j/k A good idea from GM to try and grab a little more from the movie tie in. Looks like a nice package altogehter. Now if they would make a “Jazz” edition Solstice… ---

Considering an H1 cost 130+, I would rather have this. Granted this is not even close to the H1 in off road worthiness, but I think it is more unique. ---

The truck alone weighs 10,000 pounds? That 325hp/450lb-ft V8 is ball punchingly underpowered. :lol: That’s barely enough motor to get MikeRi to/from work! (Sorry dude, had to!) ---

I think thats a fair price to pay to be considered one of the safest cars on the road. “This thing makes a Hummer H1 feel small, though the H1 is wider, harder to drive and takes more highway lane. When you look out of the Ironhide cab, you’re looking eyeball to eyeball with the guy in the Mack truck next to you. And he’s wishing he was sitting where you are. We caught at least one trucker mouthing the words “holy sh–!” That about sums it up.” ---

im looking at the back and i think it should be a dually or however the fuck you spell it. i know most people are going to call me crazy but it looks like it has no balls. throw some extra tires on the back and then you can call that thing a truck. ---

$81k for that?!! The power output on that is paltry as stated above for it weighing so much. Optimus Prime would be really disappointed… [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2008-gmc-topkick-ironhide-edition/33063.md?page=2)
