Hello. I am Flash, an 18 year old 60s racecar enthusiast and lifetime fan of Speed Racer.

I am a big fan of Speed Racer 1967, which I've been watching since I was a child. It's what fostered my interest in the racecars of the 60s. I don't particularly care for any older or younger racecars, and Nascars make me roll my eyes with their design and liveries. My favorite cars as of right now are the Ferrari 330 P4, and Shelby Cooper Monaco King Cobra. I am very interested in replica cars. I believe they are the best looking cars to have ever been made, and I much prefer the P4 to the GT40 in every regard.

I have been designing my own racecar based on the design of the Monaco Cobra, which will be kept under wraps until the design is finished.

As I'm sure you can tell, my favorite character from Speed Racer 1967 is Prince Kim Jugger, the wildest racer in the world and the first article I've edited on this site, which you can find here. His car, the Black Tiger, is one of the most visually striking vehicles I have ever set eyes on and is only beaten by the Mach 5 and the Melange. The Mach 4 is the only car from the Speed Racer movie that I particularly care for, as it pays homage to the original 1967 Mach 5. Another favorite of mine is Racer X's Shooting Star from Speed Racer 1967.

My absolute favorite car is the Melange, the disguised one in specific that was "driven" by Lily Marker in the race on Danger Pass. It is difficult to find a good image of the car, so you will have to find it for yourself. You won't regret it, as the exposed engine design, the contrasting shades of blue and the red racing stripes make it a much more appealing look than the one driven by the robot. The Phantom of Danger Pass, I call it. Race for Revenge still sends shivers down my spine to this very day and stands with it's head held high as my favorite 2 part episode in animation history.

I suppose that's all that's worth telling. If you've reached the end of this, then congratulations. You officially have a better attention span than most people these days.
