Hey guys,

Until a formal name is decided, I figured we could use the in-house code as the vehicle name, so I went ahead and changed this forum name to The New Factory Five 818.

When we formally introduce the car (hopefully at SEMA 2011), we should have a final name decided, but I kind of like the 818 nomenclature since it's easy to say and we all know what we're talking about...I mean you guys are part of the design team.

Is there some significance that if you substitute letters for numbers you get "HAH"?

Don't you hate it when people analyze every little thing!

The 818 Area Code covers part of Los Angeles, CA.

I believe there was some sort of song lyric about '818', as in that area code... but the song is not coming to mind.

I think code name 818 might be more appropriate...

JMHO

The 818 is area code for the San Fernando Valley...ick. j/k At least it's not 909!

There's that scene in Swingers when Mikey gets the girl's number and his friends ask "818?" (meaning the Valley) and he responds "310" (the Westside) and they go "oooh." LOL.

Just realized how 'P-car' like the name sounds, just doesn't start with a 9...

No sense pulling punches! :p
