I dig that he wired up a set of axial fans over the intercooler to make up for the lack of hood scoop. Good detail.

I don't see the point of souping up a POS. And BTW, that intercooler would work much better if it had some non engine bay air to go through it (regardless of the fans - they're just sucking the engine bay warm air through it)

Hmmm, that one is on my list of supped up cars I'll still laugh at even as they beat me on a straight drag.

Understood and agreed with, but it's still one interesting detail. Cowl-induction anyone? I did notice some enhancement in the hood just over the axial fans.

That's sweet, in HS we threw a fully built 302 into my buddies early 80's Volvo Wagon, it was sweet


there is a old school VW cabrolet that is a hell of a sleeper out here at our street races. The car is easily in the low 11's. It's an f'ing trip

If that were the case, Vipers would look like square boxes with "Viper" written in crayon on the sides.

What's the point of looking good if you can't blow someone's doors off?

I'll take the 1968 VW bus with the Viper engine, please. Crayon paint option, of course.

and FYI, that thing isn't blowing the doors off of much even w/ a little snail on it. It's still pimp though.
