meh. I like the idea of a well-built big-block with an 8-71, but that setup is ridiculous. If it's a real GTO, someone needs a good slapping.

Blah... looks like shit

Well, that's one way to spend a lot of money... but what does it pull in the quarter?

probably nothing because it wont GO in the 1/4 mile. like as in the driver is probably dumb enough to hit the nitrous with that twin blower setup on it and blow the motor to holy hell.

Actually, a sick evil side of me just pictured how wonderful that would be.

It would be a fitting conclusion for such an abomination.

That same car with a single, slightly underdriven 6-71 blown mouse would be ten times hipper, and a thousand times more usable as a fucking car.

Does nothing for me. I like old muscle but this car is just ruined. Looks like a bad hot wheels car.

But a good looking car (IMO) from Hot Wheels is the life size, operational, Twin Mill.

Yes indeed it is.

Some shots I have from my trip to LA a couple years ago. Think I will find them and start a thread about it.

My thoughts exactly.
I don't mind a little modernization or customization of classic muscle, but don't fuck it up like that.
