Whoa....

Now that an Idea I like

Not for me.
The Jag V12 is a much nicer sounding engine.

Yeah, but its only 5 1/2 liters, and the V10 is 8...
You should understand, the only thing that beats
cubic inches, is cubic dollars. How much would it
cost to get the Jag V12 to make the torque and HP
of the Viper??

Take a Jaguar convertible and a Viper crate motor. Put the two together and you get a car with both agility and brute power.

That's the funniest thing I've heard this year.......agile...... ........what, in the same way as a canal barge is agile

It might only be 5.3, but it can be bored out to something silly like 17 litres.

JC.

Presumably you meant 7 litre.

Heres some Chrysler crate engines.

Mouthwatering if you own an oil company.

So does that make it a Vipuar?

This was at York Dragway a couple of year ago





Jaguar V12 - 7.2 litres on 6 downdraughts iirc 700hp it sounded loverrrly

Cracked 10s std qtr

Another use for a Jag V12, a chappy I know wasn't happy to just have 8 cylinders in his trike.



We also have a guy around our way who imported a Viper complete rolling chassis and then fitted his split screen VW pick-up body shell to it...amazing bit of kit.

Perhaps viagara would be more appropriate would have roughly the same effect.
