Sweet

 

whoa 12.7L and a 8000rpm rev limiter!!!

 

Aside from the goofy hood scoop, that things wild! I wonder where that motor came from?

 

DID THEY SAY 0-300KMH IN 10 SECONDS?! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/jaw.gif[/img]

 

11 billion gallons of gas per second.

oh and


crap [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eek.gif[/img]

 

12.9L V8 with 1,100hp(DIN?) @ 7000 rpm? VTEC?! I don't need no stinkin' VTEC!

 

That is really impressive [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

Says all parts are made in house, including the engine...... As for the hood scoop, when you have a normally aspirated engine that size, you need the scoop, otherwise the thing would suffocate!

 

Only 15 of them will be sold. I wonder what their price will be ...

 

i think it would be just right with a couple of 101mm turbos!

 

Sweet!! I love it except the double roll bar kinda sucks, i'd just do the left one and leave the right side one off.

no way, that kind of compression is NOT boost friendly! but with a motor that big, spool time would be like a 5.0 with a 60mm turbo...mmmmm, the possibilities..

 

Cool car..ugly hood/rims
waiting for Shelby to sue them for something..like horsepower infringment or something

How can you call 15 a production run? How can you say it is street legal with no bumpers? What is the gas guzzler tax? Do you think it will get a side impact crash rating? CAN I HAVE ONE ? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img] CAN I TEST DRIVE IT? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

 

That hood scoop is utterly rediculous.

That's okay for a drag car but going around a corner and trying to look over/around it must be a royal #&^@&#*!!!!!!

15 is more than 1 therefore production
Who needs bumpers?
You are going too fast for anything to hit you in the side, they will just glance you
There is no gas guzzler tax in Europe

Doug, I assume the 2nd roll bar is a neccessity to get it through safety checks (I would be suprised if you could produce an open 2 seater without 2 roll bars)

Bman, what could Shelby sue for? One assumes that these guys have the rights to use the name. Bloody foolish of them if they haven't!
