wth, how do they drive that thing. It is cool in a Barris sort of way but that thing would be a chore to drive in anything other than a straight line

Yeah, talk about straying from a 50/50 weight distribution. LOL! And I couldn't help but notice how loose the belt is on the left set of blowers in that last photo. Wild setup for sure.

lame engine stand... 2 n/a motors would have been pretty cool but 4 big shiny blowers that make it unsafe to drive and probably do less work combined than a single KB...

I'm pretty sure the picture with 4 blowers is a photoshop guys..all the media this car has gotten and footage of the owner talking about it and he never said anything about adding two more blowers to it. That's just unnecessary

I've seen this posted somewhere else, but don't remember where it was posted. This car was definitely sweet. Guy design the cog & sprocket system that feeds to the transmission himself. I want to know what he does for a living....

+1, first 3 pictures the car has 2 blowers on it, then the last pic in his garage has 4. Most likely photoshop for sure. I wonder how driving that thing would be.

I've seen that car in person. It has 2 blowers, one on each engine. I just saw it cruising through the Good Guys car show last year.

Scroll to the very bottom of the page on his website... it shows more pictures, it now has 4 blowers :eek:

For those say this is photoshopped, here are a few other angles for you.

This man is awesome. He built knock-off Lambo Countachs back in the late 80s too, FROM HAND!

Well I stand corrected then. Lol. I just dont see the point in having all that power without being able to see in front of you and in a open top car that if rolled over, the only thing holding it up would be the 4 blowers lol
