As awesome as that Porsche is, it is also an exercise in futility. Why put an 8.2 engine when it's only going to make 517hp? You can put a Corvette engine with a supercharger and actually achieve more.

Or you can actually get a proper Porsche engine making 500 and I bet it would weigh less.
I am also suspicious of the cooling system - would it be enough?

You will also pay 3x the value of the car to make over 300hp with a Porsche engine in that car, and being air cooled you'll PRAY it won't blow up all the time. ~~He as the added benefit of making it mid engined now (so it's a Caymen )~~, and ever hear the term "different strokes for different folks? The guy really just thought it would be cool to cram a massive American v8, and trust me a 500 inch caddy is fucking huge (even by our standards), behind the seats of a Porsche.

Thing probably could make one HELL of a great street class drag car.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but a Buick with aluminum heads weighs in at about the same as a small block Chevy with cast iron heads. The radiator seems to be quite large the only problem I could see is the fans not being able to push enough air.

It's a 500inch Caddy, not a Buick. And yes, it's a boat anchor.

The Veyron let off, twice.
As these are Russians, my guess is it was a fixed race to get some bets manipulated. Veyron driver now probably is eaten by siberian pigs.......

Apparently it's a Switzer P800, with 800HP.

Sometimes internet forums lack a sense of humour.

(sorry for the double post)

Not sure where I came up with Buick. Though a 500 Caddy isn't the best motor, I've seen one in an S-10 run 9.80s.

Thanks for Blayde for finding a wallpaper size of one of these (suck it 56k, suck it

).

Don't try to edit sneak around that Blayde, I quoted.

Alfa Romeo's idea of an Indycar:

Better than that, it's engine....

I'm terribly sorry, but that's just a March.

fucking epic post Russian... you get an e-cookie.

I'm pretty damn good at identifying cars, but I can't make out what this is, the back window and door shape don't look to be corvair, but the rest of it appears to in fact be corvair.

What car is that?

VW Corrado?

It is indeed and such a pretty car as well. I was always kind of disappointed that they are FWD. Something about the shape just begs to be AWD but then i think most cars should be AWD so you know whatever.

Now that you say that, when I look at the VW Corrado, all I can see is an updated Audi Quattro. :lol:
