A little disguise for your LS-1's
|
Looks like a great way to keep some heat in and rob yourself of a few hp.
Leave the covers off and be proud to run an LS1 :p :p |
Thanks for the post, pretty cool.
I am with Plums though, wear the darkside badge with pride! Cheers, Ben |
And hit the owner with an ugly stick for going down the dark path in the first place!!
|
And the best part is it comes with a CD that makes true Lambo sounds to really confuse and fool onlookers!!!**)
Stupid. After all that work on the car just by a REAL car. |
To be honest I think I would prefer the loss of HP and Lambo looks to putting a ford in my Cobra :D :D
|
Do they make a windsor engine cover as well? :)
They even made provision for 2 fake exhaust pipes on either side |
I'm speechless :rolleyes: ...... and I bet the Lambo fellas are insulted :p :LOL:
|
Speechless?
That would be a first. :D |
faux V12
For all the expense and trouble of trying to make GEN III engine look like a
12 cylinder, you might as well get a real V12 to put in your Lambo replica. Jag, BMW, and Mercedes V12's aren't that hard to find, albeit at a price and the sound will be right. ....Fred |

The Gen III is lighter, more reliable, has higher potential Hp per dollar and meets emmissions standards! Ben |
Thought about bringing in a Toyota V12 when building the last Cobra. Would have been really cool. I think it would work out to the same price as what Gen III's go for here now. We went elcheapo and used Toyota 1UZFE instead.

I didn't know Toyota made a V12
That would've been cool. Craig, what car used the V12 and do you know any specs off hand? Thanks |
Gotta luv google
I found this Only ever produced in the Toyota Century "The 2nd Gen has the 5.0L 1GZ-FE V12, DOHC, 4V/cyl with VVT, and as per that Japanese limit, only makes ~280hp. Torque is 355lb-ft." So that 206kw I'm guessing just the 4.0 V8 there's plenty of potential :) |

Here is a piccy of the Toyota V12 for those interested. |
