Not sure if this is Enzo.

Such an amazingly beautiful work of mechanical engineering and art this enzo is.

 

Nice carbs.

 

345hp huh?

 

Timing belt change would be a piece of cake...

 

Corded cell phone and giant CD changer?

 

Interesting to see the Dellorto DRLA setup like for my small 6L engine build.

I was about to say "what a nice render it is!" and then I realized that it's not a render.

 

I've never really understood why people replace a reliable fuel injection system with complicated and unreliable carbs. Must be an electronics phobia.

 

That is a bit odd, I wonder if they were in the donor 928 and simply carried over.

 

Same here. I know someone that has taken the FI out of her truck and any other truck she works on because she thinks carbs are better. When the reality of it is she has no idea what she is doing so she just converts it to carb so she can have some idea. And still then constantly complains when they break down and she has to work on them again.

 

Maybe they're worried about the EMP radiation from a nuclear bomb? Carburetor's don't need electronics to work.

 

I think cause it was built in the early 90s. Still looks pretty inovative today

 

Then he should have converted to diesel with a hand crank.

Still need electricity to make a spark.

 

There's been some sci-fi (Neville Schutte's popular book On The Beach comes to mind) that blithely stated that autos made before some arbitrary date (Schutte said 1982?) would survive an EMP due to not having circuit boards. Entertainment science, LOL.

In any case, it's more probable that the hot rod builder chose a more familiar and mechanically elegant route than the German wizardry of CIS that 16v motor may have come with.
If they're well-tuned I'll bet they really make that motor sing. Trade the mileage, the cold start, the grocery-getting user-friendliness for some soul.
