I don't have much music GAS, but this thread gives me unattainable car GAS

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
Every time I walk through my garage and see my Ghia sitting there, I curse the winter.

I'd have killed for one of these when I was a kid:
Or one of these:
Or one of these:
That all new 8.2 liter V8 had a 4.3" bore, 4.3" stroke, a 10 to 1 compression ratio and it was 100 lbs lighter than a 454 Chevy engine. In stock form in pump gas it produced 425 HP and a whopping 550 Ft/lbs of torque, all in by 2800 rpm.
We mildly massaged one for a custom install in a 77 K5 Blazer. We went .030" overbore, forged pistons, mild port work on stock heads, custom valvetrain with Chevy roller rockers, homebuilt headers, an Edelbrock intake (with a Mike N prepped 800 cfm Rochester Quadrajet) and a Mallory Unilite distributor.
On 93 octane gas that truck could pull the front wheels off the ground and it ran mid to low 15 second quarter mile times....... not bad for weighing 7000+ lbs, standing nearly 9' tall and turning 44" Super Swampers.
I still love me some Fiero. I remember being a young teen (pre-license) and stumbling upon a site called v8archie. Dedicated to stuffing v8 engines into Fieros. Also, body modifications like chopping the top, wide body kits, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Ford GT body kits. These people even made me appreciate the notchback
With the single turbo, where are you mounting it and how will you plumb the intercooler?
Even though I just dented (and creased!) a panel on a curb hidden in a snowbank, I still gotta go with:
...not hurting that the little stake I put into the stock year before last made me $1350 already this morning!

The 1966 2000GT
The ragtop was made in 2 weeks for James Bond because Roger Moore was too tall for the GT Hardtop. There wasn't a ragtop made for the 200gt since it was a new model
It is widely regarded as the first Japanese supercar. It looks fantastic!
