That's because Phil wants moar speeds so that car is nothing but function and probably little consideration to form if any. It just has form because it is so functional
Edit: they may be leaning towards more form now because when he first got the car, the flares were raw plastic screwed or riveted onto the car.

I think I've met the guy with the NSX, he lives right next to a friend of mine in Vienna.

Re: Cars that get you all hot and bothered - fiveoh2go - 07-30-2013
Hmm, a blown "big block" Cobra huh? I think Shelby would scoff at the thought of a boosted Bavarian V12 powering his most famous car. Besides, those pipes running all over the front of the engine look turrible, just turrible. Takes away from the classic lines of the car.
Besides he built 2 boosted big block Cobras back in the day...featuring twin Paxton blowers and an honest-to-goodness big block 427 FE Ford engine. :twisted:

Re: Cars that get you all hot and bothered - Sully - 07-30-2013
I don't think Matt understands how you LSx swap a Volvo :roll:
Also that cluster-fuck going on in the Volvo looks worse than that cobra which looks just as good as the other cobra.
Mustangs suck...:grin:

Re: Cars that get you all hot and bothered - JPolen01 - 07-31-2013
There is probably a reason we see so many LSx swaps and not as many Fordwhatevermotor swaps...
Re: Cars that get you all hot and bothered - WRXtranceformed - 07-31-2013
All that custom fab work and design to install and boost a v12 engine and you're going to limit it to 490whp? You can accomplish that with a lot less engine. I'm sure that car is light and fast as heck but it seems like a lot of unnecessary work to put that motor in there with that kind of limit to it.

That was my first thought when I saw the pony power.....why restrict its potential?

You saw it was a .5bar of boost, right? Out of a 3.5l twin screw blower? Dude's sandbaggin'. Might be for his racing class, 490hp is 500ps and who knows how crazy swedes class things.
