If only we used military technology in our government auto-manufacturing business.

Want to join the Air Force? Look at the picture above. How about now? Still no? Well damn, the Air Force is gonna be pissed -- this was supposed to be a powerful recruitment tool.
The Challenger Vapor features radar-absorbing stealth-black paint, not unlike what is used to mask stealth bombers. The Vapor is set to run almost silently, thanks to "stealth exhaust" - whatever that means. Reminds us of when KITT used to go "Silent Mode" on Knight Rider. You need biometric verification to enter the cockpit via gull wing doors. The driver can view night/thermal vision projections on the windshield while sitting in a compartment that looks like something out of Crimson Tide.
Listen, Air Force, I'm not one to tell somebody how to do their job, but if you want new recruits, you're going about it all wrong. Two words: Free jetpacks. You think about it.
UPDATE: Looks like they also made a Mustang with a jet-like cockpit. Added pics after jump.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots and a short video of the thing.

I understand the idea of running silent, but....if I had a Challenger I would expect a little bit of a growl.
Cool
Then no one could afford one....
But, if you could tell people it was “Stealth” ... then you could sneak up on them going 120mph. Growl is flashy. Stealth is where its at.

Hmmm... invisible to radar, eh?
Nice ride. I prefer the kill-bot but this’ll do...
Nifty!
It looks pretty bad, but they should make a stealth Viper.
I want one. Maybe Zero will dish them out to everyone?

Those aren’t gull wing doors. I’m guessing the writer is too young to remember the old Mercedes 300 SL. THOSE were gull wings.
Stimulus at work?
I tell ya, the guy is an economic genius.
