That is funny. They probably only swapped the engine to get rid of the oil leaking pos engine that was in it.

Lol very wise one day? Don''t exactly follow the logic. What a waste of a corvette engine though.. I hate the way volvos handle. I used to have a 760 turbo and the back end would brake loose like nothing else. You always feel like you''re floating on the road in those cars and I never feel very confident with the amount of traction they have. +1 on the leaky engine comment, I''ve seen a lot of those engines last a long long time but they''re always leaky

my aunt loves volvos...I always told her they were POS...and she said no they run great up to 50k then its time to get a new one....and thats why she gets a new volvo every 2 years...I never heard of a volvo with 350K...

Not my first, second, or probably even 2,456th choice of car, but heck of a motor job.

I love sleepers. I think he did a great job of making it look stock minus the rims and exhuast. I wouldn''t have chosen that car to make a sleeper, but still the engine bay looks great.

Nope you are not alone.

This was crazy and I just can''t imagine people on the road who judge this book by it''s cover and then SUPRISE ! ! !

It''s just lacking the aerodynamics thats all lol

Who needs aerodynamics with a twin-turbo ls1? And I would drive the shit out of that car, I''ll take a sleeper any day over gaudy four-wheeled bauble. I like everything about it, only thing I would change is make it look even more beat-up...think mismatched and faded paint, maybe a taped up taillight, you get the idea. Then I''d go rice hunting.

^+1 i think it would be better if he didnt try and make it look nice, loose the rims nice exhaust pipes and rough up the paint a little and it would jsut seem like a beat up car with a hole in the exhaust making it ungodly loud haha
