It's a Jag C-X75 e- and it looks like one of the fake, WRC space frame/supercharged V8 film cars and not the microturbine/electric hybrid that the concept was Seizure Meat fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Dec 1, 2015 |

I like how the valve cover breathers are just a filter that could potentially dump oil all over the headers and burn the car down. Although I expect it's only ever going to be on a trailer and parked. jamal fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Dec 2, 2015 |

Jesus. 94mm snails, Tremec T56, Ford 9 inch... I wonder how long that drive line will last. I mean I know the t56 and ford 9" have a reputation for being bullet proof, but 1650HP is a nuke. jamal posted:I like how the valve cover breathers are just a filter that could potentially dump oil all over the headers and burn the car down.

I love the back seats, but those front seats look like they'd give anyone over 5'6" whiplash every time they stepped on the gas

The entire thing is just a work of art. I'd be interested in knowing more about it from the technical side, especially, given the source of the engine, the cooling. Boat engines are designed knowing that they have an endless supply of cool/cold water to suck through the ridiculously powerful mill. I wonder how they managed to get this to stay cool with a closed system.

Boat engines are designed knowing that they have an endless supply of cool/cold water to suck through the ridiculously powerful mill. I wonder how they managed to get this to stay cool with a closed system. Big rad, lots of fans, a stand alone electric water pump and some clever piping? I'm more curious about its reliability. While a boat engine is generally reliable, its having a different kind of strain being put on it (running at varying RPMs constantly) compared to what it was designed to handle (constant high RPMs).

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:Jesus. Not sure why they wouldn't use a TR-6060 instead of a T-56, a built TR-6060 should be able to take that kind of power. Then I saw the Michelin PSS on 20s and it won't matter. The tires won't hook and put stress on the drive line.

I saw what could very well be a two story falcon rotting away in a field out near rimbey, and thinking about it has led me to some dark places.     Can you believe they passed laws dictating the minimum sleeper size?

SouthsideSaint posted:More pics? Cab over trucks tickle me in all the right places I'm not yet brave enough to risk getting shot to approach the guy yet, but you can see the cab and the "toilet tank" sleeper sticking up over a bunch of rotting vans. i'll try bringing my superzoom next time i head out that way to get a few pics of it. I would bet at this point they're rarer than most ferraris.   edit: this journey is takin me places. This sold for $8000 in vegas a few months ago  This sold for a thousand fuckin dollars in BC just over a year ago    It even has a garage. I would live in that so fuckin hard.
