Dodge Tomahawk

Only $16,163 a month for 60 months!

At, say, 1.9 percent interest over five years, that would be 60 convenient monthly payments of just $16,163.16. Up to nine additional replica Tomahawks will be built by R&M Motorsports in Wixom, Mich., where the original was built, Elshoff said.

While the replicas will be exact copies of the original, the owners will have to truck their Tomahawk around or push it or simply display it for friends, as it will be a non-functional big boy's toy.
