Need this. Now. I mean it, like *REALLY* GODDAMN NOW. So good...

I think that this car is a stroke of genius. Never in a million years would I expect to see something as mental as this.

As in cars powered by WW2/Prop engines.

On second thoughts, what I should've asked is - "are there any other cars powered by radial engines?"

Street Legal 3000 HP '55 Bel Air powered by a V12 Merlin found in a P51 Mustang.

Not even surprised that an Ozzy built this

Yeah there is a Bel Air built way before this running a P51 Merlin, there was a C10 out of Spokane 5 years ago with a radial engine and a massive turbo. There have been several one off builds for salt flat attempts using old prop engines, it's not a new thing at all. Just not something people want to invest the time and fabrication, when they could easily go another route and be just as fast. Also I wont post them up here, I gave you some names you can find them on google with videos.

edit: and I click next page and I see @Team THRT Drift did the work for you with one of the cars I had suggested. Thanks THRT

And that's it. If you have money to fab it, have money to run it.


That '55 just sits all day

Another decent good looking tuned civic I found. Lovely.

Good color too.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Yep, the Monaco Trossi.

Well I just learnt something

I swear I forgot about this car when I made the original post... How stupid am I?

Yep, the Monaco Trossi.

That positive camber though--and it's a front-driver.

Here's another radial:

I've never wanted an S13 so bad.

This might be a bit simple, but there's a lot more in this car other than wheels.

A Cobalt SS...Supercharged, with some nice MSR 044 shoes. Lovely color too. I'd rock it.

As for that acr before, if that's a Skyline right there, that's, exquisite. Intriguing.

What's going on with it other than the wheels as you've suggested? If I read your post correctly you're saying it's a cobalt SS that's been supercharged, and if that's the case well yeah... They come from the factory with a supercharger in the first couple years of production, then were switched to the turbocharged engine until the end of production, that is still in use in certain other GM vehicles today.

I'm glad you asked.

Okay cool, so he got most of that power from the GM stage kits that you could buy with the car when it was being sold, and if the stage 3 kit was covered by warranty for street use he'd probably have gone for it and did all the other work as well. Not a bad amount of power for the car.

Just wanted to make sure you knew that you could get a supercharged Cobalt from the the factory at one point in time.

It's cool he stuck with a supercharger instead of just going turbo though.

This is a bit special...

930, fitted with a Tag F1 Engine from an 80's McLaren.

Needs bigger intercoolers

ST's are the prettiest 911 IMO 👍

Is this real carbon fibre?

 

[Clark]

Proper Japanese tuning doesn't do tend to do stuff for show so I imagine it is real.

 

[Neddo]

This is by far my fave Civic, sadly only a concept. It's just so pretty, yet very performance oriented. CF makes it even prettier. It's even capable of being a decent family car (if they don't need trunk that much)

Apart from the Red 86 they're all questionable in my view. Something can't be tuned/modified tastefully if it's got so little suspension travel that it would make it slower and worse handling.
