Cars that get you all hot and bothered

[Sully]

Love the evasive build but the flares on the element car are not very aesthetically pleasing.

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.

Is it just me or does that thing look cobbled together and really scary to drive? I just get the feeling that the floorboard is going to pop off Fast & Furious style at speed! :lol:

I think it's you. Did you miss the framed floor?

V12 Cobra

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:

Here's Bill Cosby's take on the car (he owned it when new) ----> Bill Cosby 200MPH

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:

There is probably a reason we see so many LSx swaps and not as many Fordwhatevermotor swaps...

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.
