I was about to say, I hope it's not a "COSSEH" engine.

Unless it's got some FI V10 or bigger then this will be a fail thread.
Those wheels are too big to be a "sleeper"

As already spoiled by chez

Its a supercharged LS1 corvette engine putting out 720bhp at the wheels.

You aint nothing with a 10 second car boy /vin diesel.

How unexpected is that ?? *($£ing awesome.

Its stevie turbo's car who is on passionford regularly and at totb.

If you want a really wild old granada check out the one that's getting a 2200 bhp twin turbo's koenigseigg engine :eek:

Firestar_3x · 23 Nov 2009 at 20:47

Aye thats the one i was thinking about.

But im sure this one had Koenigsegg rocker covers or something cause i remember arguing that its not actually a Koenigsegg engine or something along those lines.

I remember the build log of this cat posted a while back. Did the Guy not say the engine was capable of producing 1600 ponies? :eek:

edit: ok just read the posts above, different car! Was wondering why it was it was on British plates seeing as the car should be in Norway!

I just love the fact it gives no clue whatsoever that its running over 900bhp. if you met that out on the roads, youd fancy your chances thinking if all hes changed is the wheels, he'd maybe only have midly fettled the engine

Not fitted a chuffin supercharged corvette engine !

wouldnt surprise me. With these LS series corvette engines, the limit is your wallet.

May contain bad language as PF is not as tight on that as here.

Not really a sleeper though is it? It's too unusual to catch people completely off guard, and the big wheels, twin exhaust pipe arrangement and bonnet vents hardly help it keep discrete!

Begbie · 23 Nov 2009 at 22:21

That is brilliant! You would proper crap yourself seeing that blow past you.

None of which you would notice on the move.

You can be guaranteed anyone who gets a taste of that medicine will be baffled somewhat. I would be.

Does it deploy a smoke screen at bang on 41secs in that clip? Rapido.

Ive seen that run at TOTB, it is stupidly ****** quick!
