Yah, I get it. I drive a '99 Fiat 1.2
Can you hang a couple hair dryers on it to have some real fun?? The big rage here in the USA is a turbocharger on everything. It's gotten to the point that I'm thinking about tanking the 477 (roughly 7.6 liter) V8 out of my Camaro and substituting a single turbo 5.3 liter LS series engine in it's place.
The pros would be turn key fuel injection reliability and possibly a 9 second time slip.....
The cons are the lack of the large valve cover look under the hood and the rumpety rump sound of a 13 to 1 compression ratio Big Block Chevy.

59 ElDorado.
Much like a 69 Camaro or a 70 Chevelle, it is the quintessential car of it's day.
Hmm.... Fat tires out back, skinnies up front and dual quads poking out of the hood.
Need more pics and an audio clip of it running.
'66 Olds Toronado.
Ever since I read Stephen King's description of a black Toronado in his book The Dark Half (when I was a teenager), I was fascinated.
Then my BIL brought a few resto projects back from Cali about 25 yrs ago and among them was a white '66 Toronado. What I learned was that they are huge,....and fwd. But it was still awesome.
And now that I've seen what Jay Leno did to his, I really want one.
But it has to be jet black.
And probably black interior, tinted glass, custom wheels and exhaust that makes it sound angry.

I've seen a funeral train headed by Jaguar hearse in Palermo, Sicily, back in 2011. But that one strangely was silver, not black, and based on a newer model, too. Kinda like this one:

If I could have any car in the world it would be that car.
