Tomatoman Anyway, aside from that faux pau, What Jayden said was something about the Vecor W8 having 2 possible engines, the Lamborgini V12 or the Corvette V8. What my responce was was, Jayden, wouldnt W8 imply a W style engine and not a v shaped engin? Maybe thats just me... blaugh sweatdrop "W-8" is merely the vehicle's designation, like the Toyota MR-2. I think they chose the letter "W" for the company's creator's last name, Weigert. If you'd like a little more info about the car itself, you can find some info about it on here

I must say though, that engine is a pretty mean piece of automotive engineering. 4 turbo chargers and a crank shaft that handles 16 pistons is crazier even than the stuff I dream about.
Although I must say, maintenance must be a b***h for that car. Think of the the money you'd be throwing into it for oil and spark plugs alone. Good God, did you see how much gas this puppy eats at full strain!?!? eek

Good God, did you see how much gas this puppy eats at full strain!?!? eek Yeah I know what you mean. I wonder how may of them actually get sold. And how often would you need to change tires? Who buys these cars?~! Are there really people who live those jetsetting lifestyles?

have you ever seen the engine bay of an impala...there is so much room its nuts. plus he runs a 3 inch cowl hood. he ran a 8.29 at the track spinning the first 60 foot of the track at muncie. when he started his car it sounded like a freaking jet. he uses some high performance gasket that i cant remember the name of...but they are supposed to be the best on the market and cost 1400 for a set of 2. he has his own machine shop and has done most of the fabbing himself.
