Umm, discuss?

Veto from me. 1200 HP should accelerate MUCH better than that, unless thats 1/4 throttle or something. Too many exhaust exits, pick a pair and stick with them. And trim them flush while youre at it. And the exaggerated "bird catcher" is just plain silly. "Old man rice":

I loved the overall style of the car. But the supercharger? was a bit over the top. Didn't do anything for me. I liked the blue rotors. What would GO rotors look like behind black wheels?

The overall look I like. I like the old "lead sleds". The quad exhaust and the huge bird catcher are a little over the top for me, but as he said he wanted that "model car" look so he achieved that.
Certainly an attention-getter. It looks like it was well built.

One pet peeve - a Chevy motor in a Ford. Every time I see that it kinda ticks me off. If you want a Chevy powerplant, build a Chevy car. Oh Brother

I agree. If you're gonna put another manufacturer's motor in your hot rod make sure it is an old school Chrysler HEMI!! Laughing

?? The sled is a Cadillac, so its a GM in a GM. Its ALWAYS a Chevy engine. It takes lilttle money and no brains to build one. Like LEGOs.

Alan, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's the original Shboom that's a Ford.
Regardless, I see guys do that all the time, particularly in street rods.
You know what they say about Chevy 350's, they're like ........, everyone has one! Don't Blink

Scott, at least a Hemi would be different! Big Grin
