I just keep thinking about how "non-Ferrari" that car is gonna sound when it's up and running. (Ferraris have some of the sweetest sounding engines IMO)
The lumpy-growly Chevy V8 sound coming out of a Ferrari would wierd me the hell out...but scare the hell out of me too

i cant tell what kind of engine it is in the pic, but it is certainly not a chevy body. the intake plenum looks like alot of the stuff i have seen on chevy motors, but i cant see enough of the engine to make any decision about it.
but look at that suspension, the frame, the way the body panels actually fit etc.
this is no knockoff ferrari
that frame is too nice to be a chevy frame, too complicated and neat to be a custom frame but right on cue with a ferrari frame.
also those are real ferrari body panels and not just look alikes. in the front you will notice the red plate that is blocking the front entrance that speeds air under the body. if they were making fake ferrair panels they would just make them without that feature. it wouldnt make sense for them to make it like the original and then block it. i assume that they have to block it for the race regulations, or maybe they are using some other aerodynaimc trickery and they feel that front inlet is not necessary. probably the first one.
as much as i think the idea of a chvy motor instead of a ferrari motor is wrong, it makes sense from apracticallity standpoint
my over all guess is that they purcased a front end dameged ferrari and they retored it, probably by replacing the factory frame with tube frame work in the front, and then they added the chevy motor because it was cheaper to replace, or they bot a ferrari with no motor for cheap and dropped a chevy motor in there. or some combination of both.

the only thing i m really confused about is why the hub on the rear wheel seems to stick out so far. is that something attached to it, like some kind of tool, or what? if you look to the passenger side on the floor there appears to be another similarly shaped peice pointing up.

Looks like they were about to dyno the car. Where did you get the pics bro? If you took them what did the car dyno, also what kind of motor is it?! What kind of Turbo are they running?! One last thing, where is this gangsta shop at?! LOL
Kind regards,
