No BS, just a big ole Chevy motor and enough stance to not be ridiculous. Another badass Stacy David creation, and one of the first that got me hooked on Trucks back in the day, 55 Willys.

For what it's worth, I think my friend drove the truck about 4 times and ended up selling it again on eBay. He said it was "too nice to drive" and he ended up buying a GTR instead.

Spotted at the local liquor store a couple weeks ago. Only the second GTR I've seen in the wild.

Could be a temporary thing. A lady I work with blew out her ACL skiing and has a temporary handicap placard. She parks her 911 Carrera GTS in the spot right out front.

The GTR has such ridiculously oversized tailpipes. Don't get me wrong, I think they look great, but also a little preposterous.

I saw a Mercedes M120 V12 (the 400bhp one from the 600, which is also the engine Zonda uses) on Ebay the other day, it only went for £400. The BMW V12s seem like they lack aftermarket tuning options. Apparently the heads don't flow worth a drat, and are very hard to improve.

I spent yesterday at the Nürburgring drinking beer, eating bratwurst and looking at cars. I'll do a photodump later, these two shots have very little to do with the track and race I was there for. AI related here's the hostel I stayed at - http://basecamp-bonn.com/  Spot the BMW M4's...that color seems popular

And if you ever wondered what even MORE power in a van looks like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7hfSiYQQF4 I am curious in how much work is actually involved in stuffing a Subaru engine into a Vanagon and then figuring out the drive train.

Parked next to this.  Owner has it shipped up to Boston for the summer. That's his GT3RS track car next to it. I believe the race ready Noble in the garage was also his.

You can run a Subaru transmission too but I think you have to do some internal conversions (to knock out the transfer case/centre diff, as well as reverse the gears). There's a guy here who added an EJ25 turbo to his Vanagon Syncro. He had to do surprisingly little fab until it came to the exhaust. He used an aftermarket bellhousing and input shaft splined for a Subaru clutch instead of an adapter plate, and mated the whole mess to a massively overbuilt VW trans. http://www.westernsubaruclub.com/smf/index.php?topic=33134.0 Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 04:00 on Jun 26, 2014 |
