The AREX, a Banks project vehicle, is born.

"The AREX, which stands for American Roadster Experimental, was developed by designer David Stollery and Gale Banks Engineering. With a curb weight of only 2600 lbs, its twin-turbocharged, 585-hp engine with five-speed trans-axle, launches this speed demon from 0 to 60 in just 3.4 seconds. If you can afford a bigger speeding ticket, the Banks twin-turbo TPI 5.7L Chevy engine takes you from 0 to 100 in just 6.1 seconds, and takes the quarter mile in 10.8 seconds at a heart-stopping 143 mph." —Platinum

"This road rocket can rip the hair from your head." —Hot Rod
