hmmm..........1970 GTO: Twin Blown Beast
 
don't know what say about this............

"These two Stage 2 BDS blowers are capable of flowing 435 (8-71) and 411 (6-71) ci of air per revolution each when run 1:1 with the crank. The NOS can add a 300hp shot, but to use it all at the same time requires a large bucket to pickup the scattered crank and connecting-rod shrapnel. "

"IF" thats a real GTO...what a fucking waste....

The twin blowers like that (IMHO) are just for looks. The parasitic loss from running that configuration would be ungodly. There was a 60something chevy truck at a show with almost the same engine, the owner said it was just for the wow factor. The car is beautiful tho.

A lot of extra money wasted but wouldn't mind putzing around in that thing.

meh

BobTheBiker 12-31-2008 04:07 PM

I was thinkin the same thing about the losses from the blowers. performance wise, the way they're stacked two high like that also creates a problem in terms of power cause they completely fuck up the aerodynamics of the car, and just serve as a brake.

The car is beautiful, but the blowers are fugly. Single blower wouldn't be horribly atrocious, a small one with a ram-air hood would be even better.

its pro-street, ridiculously expensive, ridiculous looking, and almost completely incapable of being fast

Katana-750_lady 12-31-2008 08:33 PM

that is RIDICULOUS!

Mikey 12-31-2008 08:35 PM

meh. I like the idea of a well-built big-block with an 8-71, but that setup is ridiculous. If it's a real GTO, someone needs a good slapping.

Mr Lefty 12-31-2008 08:53 PM

Blah... looks like shit

unknownroad 01-01-2009 10:26 AM

Well, that's one way to spend a lot of money... but what does it pull in the quarter?

probably nothing because it wont GO in the 1/4 mile. like as in the driver is probably dumb enough to hit the nitrous with that twin blower setup on it and blow the motor to holy hell.

Nothing succeeds like excess.

Actually, a sick evil side of me just pictured how wonderful that would be.

It would be a fitting conclusion for such an abomination.

That same car with a single, slightly underdriven 6-71 blown mouse would be ten times hipper, and a thousand times more usable as a fucking car.

Does nothing for me. I like old muscle but this car is just ruined. Looks like a bad hot wheels car.

But a good looking car (IMO) from Hot Wheels is the life size, operational, Twin Mill.

Yes indeed it is.

Some shots I have from my trip to LA a couple years ago. Think I will find them and start a thread about it.

My thoughts exactly.
I don't mind a little modernization or customization of classic muscle, but don't fuck it up like that.
