Are you James May in disguise?

 

[speedn_j]

twin turbo + twin superchargers? i bet that adds some unwanted weight

You never know

 

[McLovin]

Wow. I didn't even know Volvo made a 300 series. I thought they just jumped right to 400.

Next thing I know, a 540's gonna pop up around town. And then a 640. Oh sweet jesus...

There is literally thousands of those ****ers around here. I don't know if they SHOULD have made them, but they certainly did.

Maybe it's a market thing.

Yeah it's a mk2 Escort with a big bodykit on it, it's not a zakspeed though.

The frame rails in the 300 are horrid, if your gonna go to the effort to fit that engine, then why use OEM A-arms???

Laters

with a twin turbo twin supercharged V12, do you think the weight of a few engine components would really matter hahaha

 

[Alex Buchka]

The best part of the whole thing is the 300 is his side project purely for fun. His real project is an F1-style car for the street he is constructing entirely on his own.

no, eletrical nightmares, yes, but its far from a mechanical nightmares, imagine two M20 in one engine.

 

[mAydAy]

The M70 is pretty darned light, its only 341lbs. So with twin turbo and superchargers and all its still not all that heavy...
