  • hey look its chuck norris's go kart

    

  • Does that giant fish car move?

  • @hasouras19 Sorry if that sounded like a stupid question, it just seemed fairly obvious that it is not.... What with the title clearly saying it is Spitfire engined lol.

  • @hasouras19 Can't be bothered to read all the comments.... But did someone think it was?

  • @McLarenMercedes not re-enginered, the aluminium parts were just cast in iron and the supercharger was removed before it was given a detuning to produce more torque at low rpm's. All the parts are interchangeable You could quite feasibly re tune one given time and a bucket of money.

    Well, those WW2 fighter engines weren't designed to pull heavy loads. Rolls Royce did however develop a non-supercharged version of the Merlin V12 for tanks, called the Meteor. Needless to say it was re-engineered to meet tank use.

  • its cool, but i think it would be alot cooler in a big truck, like and old mack, or international. or in and older boat like others have on here. It seems like your just not getting the feel of the true power in a car. Put it to work spinning a prop, or pulling heavy weight.

  • Needs more louvers.
