116 with a bit more straight line mumbo

[Paul Gulliver]

Not sure if this is an o dear or an interesting project . Brave attempt with an old nord engine.

Wow.  Pretty sure I posted a link to the same car a few years ago, so either someone took on the project, or it's a new one.  Is it just me ,or does the car look a lilttle bit embarassed?

[Davidm1600]

ah yep, i saw this on another thread today.  To quote from that defunct Aussie Topgear show "What were they thinking"  F**k its aweful, what a waste of a GTV.  I hate drag racing in any form

[Andrew Bose]

I think the description say it all.
""Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing""

[dehne]

it seems to be the one that was advcertised a while ago but it has had a bit of work done since then

[bonkfrog]

Definitely an O Dear. Xist, what a mess!

[BradGTV]

what is the point in it?
the nord motor with 10 psi wouldnt be powerfull enough to make it interesting..

[Frank Musco]

Yes Brad GTV,
Now 75 psi boost, fire breathing nitro methane, and so on....

Might be interesting for a split second watching it fly to bits.

I do appreciate the effort thats been put into it, thats a lot of good work , which then begs the question asked, why wasn't it finished when its was so close.

[Davidm1600]

ahm Frank because it is both pointless and hideous !!  Personally I can't see the point in drag racing, leave it to the bogans I reckon

[Storm_X]

i think the only bad thing about it is that huge sticker and the stuff hanging out of the bonnet.

All the work has been done very well and doesnt look dodgie. I dont think that motor will put out much power.
