Unfriking real..

" POWERED BY A 1,650 CUBIC INCH SUPERCHARGED V12 PACKARD MERLIN ROLLS ROYCE ENGINE THAT WAS USED TO POWER THE FIGHTER AIRCRAFT P51 MUSTANG AND RUNS ON UNLEADED GASOLINE"

3000 Hp in a55 chev! Whoa. Notice how the engine comes into the cabiin and the driver is pretty much in the back seat (or would be if it was a real 55) I think it kept its shape real well after all that was done.. WOW

I can only hope the url works. Sorry if it doesn't

Cool!

wow, what a car, over 1'000'000 invested, no wonder 135'000 didnt buy this thing.

I wonder if it really was ever driven, raced? To me, it looks like more show than go in reality. If you look at the rear wheels, they look like fairly standard width wheels with stock tires and if raced with that HP, the car wouldn't have much traction. Most modern day, super HP cars have narrowed, tubbed rear ends with very wide drag slicks and ladder bars to keep the front end from leaving the ground. I see those types of cars at various car shows, cars with over 1500 HP where the owners spared no expenses.
I'd think that the car in that link would be best at some museum somewhere but that's my opinion.

hehe at least it takes unleaded........

now why Have i never thought of doing such a thing. I mean a 501CI Caddy engine in one of them small chevy RWD cars that i cant remember the name of right now is a blast... but thats just crazy. the paint alone is worth a hell of a lot.

Or like if i decide to put a northstar V8 in my sand rail. Damn it its really bothering me that i cant remember the name of that car. I can see it in my mind but the damn name isnt there.
