View CommentsSugar Hill, GA, Market Report – April, 2010
Sugar Hill, GA is a suburb of Atlanta in Gwinnett County. The population is 2000 was 11,399, but that only included the area inside the city limits. The name comes from a bag of Sugar that spilled on a hill while in transit between Cumming and the railroad in Buford. And while it is actually a big market, it is in the shadows of Lawrenceville, Duluth and Suwanee… which all are nearby. That also makes it a great location, as it is close to everything that Gwinnett County, GA has to offer.
View Comments53 Cool Concept Cars… Part XI
- Image via Wikipedia
I have a fascination with Rat Rods. I think they are very cool. I like that they boil everything down to the essence of hot rodding… but they are a wide and varied group of cars. Of course, we think about the junkyard rats, but the genre also includes some pretty serious customs… and some paint that is unbelievable.
But I still like the “Classic Rats”… all steel cars in satin black (or mixed color panels) with junkyard swaps and few nods to comfort… just performance.
So here is the question…
Could a car company create an ‘off the showroom floor’ Rat rod?
I think it certainly COULD be done… and one of the cars that leaps to mind for a ‘Factory Rat’ would be the Dodge Challenger.

Picture it with:
- 6.1L SRT-8 Hemi… 425+ horsepower
- Backed by a 6 speed manual transmission
- Painted ‘satin’ black for the primer look
- Satin Black wheels to complete the look
- Find a cool graphic, like Wile E Coyote chasing the Road Runner for the rear quarter panel
- Give it a little ‘rake’ by dropping the front about an inch
- Make sure that it has a ‘posi’ rear end so that it could put the power down…
- Drop a tach on the hood like a lot of the 60s muscle cars did
- Use the smallest side view mirrors allowed by law
I’m sure that we could come up with a LOT of other details… but you get the idea. Give it a little ‘Evil Attitude’…
