I just threw up in my mouth...

To each his own though is fair enough though, anyway, cars like this ultimately help unmolested cars appreciate more. Supply and demand sort of thing...

I'd like to think that, to make up for this, there's some guy out there who's currently dropping a GTS motor into his Nova...

Question is: would the car be better off if it was just sent to the crusher, or had this done to it. I would say this is better, but honest men could disagree.

not likely....


this one is just proof that Porsche wasted so much space building an engine with low torque/hp numbers......when Chevrolet (and the other domestics) were building big blocks with more power for the same external dimensions.

Even the Chrysler 426 HEMI would fit in the 928 engine bay, and it (in '64/65) was putting out nearly 500hp in factory trim....30 years before the highest HP 928 GTS.

I am still continually amazed at the "fuss" about someone doing this to a $500 car......

ENZO... Yea, I have seen pics of that car before Chuck, but not sure where...I would guess here. I actually like it! I know...blasphemy, but what can I say. Someone put a hell of a lot of work into that and if it were painted and everything properly finished off inside it would be...ummmm...VERY UNIQUE! Probably damn fast in a straight line too!

At least it saved one more shark for the street... AND THE TRACK!

Couple bags of cement poured into the spare tire well and your're back to 50/50 weight distribution..should handle fine that way...

I kinda dig it, but not those rims. Wide body kit or at least ground effects to balance out the blower and it's be nice.
