Waste of money or cool recruitment tool? I gotta say, as much as I like muscle cars and airplanes, I think these things are cheesy as hell.

But I can't really complain about the cost, given the money the Navy gives me each month. Plus I've seen the Navy Xbox 360 SUVs

Cool waste of money

Agreed....waste of money, but I'd like to take them for a spin.

I wonder how many working flak jackets and proper armored door panels those 2 cars would have been worth....

Still....recruiting is a vital mission I guess

Ours are cooler.

If I remember correctly, the first pimped out recruiting Hummer was done by a SNCO on recruiting duty who got it from DRMO.

A .50 cal on the roof and it's perfect.

Looks like a marginally better use of tax dollars than the comfort capsules.

Does anyone else think its wrong that their cars probably cost more than most of our planes???

I kind of like the Army's car.

5000+ hp of nitromethane burning beast, 0-300+ mph in 4 seconds.

Yea, but too bad thats the closest thing they'll get to owning a jet....not counting their citation jets of course....

Good to see the Air Force has all the money it needs at current funding levels.

This will be a PR backfire.

Cool, but stupid.

We've got a NASCAR car as well:
