The sleepers appreciation thread

No, its quite obviouse to begin with it wasn't trying, but in the end the volvo out pulled it at 180. Aparently that brick does well over 190mph. 500bhp wouldnt be near enough to pull that sort of speed in an old volvo. I bet its nearer 700 if not more. The things turbo'd so its bound to be a hell of alot more than a stock LS3 motor.

Ive seen videos of 800hp supra struggling to out accelerate a k5 1000,and if that's only got 500hp it hasn't got a chance tbh.

only 500bhp?

lol its a bloody corvette engine probably an ls7 or posssibly an ls1 which can reach 600bhp n/a easily and then they've stuck two dirty turbos on it

Its probably 500bhp before the turbos even think about spooling

Thought it was, I saw his clio go up pod.... Was Quick! Having a look at that is that built from the 1.5 or 1.6 single cam lump? Supposedly you can get big gains for little money turbocharging the 1.5, good for 280bhp on a standard bottom end...

Inspired by the other appreciation threads i thought we'd give this a go. I LOVE sleepers more than any other modified car.

And not forgetting Norm's Clio TT of course......

Just wondered mate.

You made news on ScoobyNet anyways when you upset one of it's members.

My mate was telling me about it a couple of weeks ago then stumbled onto this thread and saw the car - LOL

Very sleeper.

Was the transplant much work and what power was it putting out?

The stickers are only on it because he took part in a thing called modball which is like gumball rally. Even still you wouldn't expect a van to fly past you. And even with the stickers and exhaust you wouldn't expect it to be 346bhp.

This is by far my favourite sleeper, I saw this at goodwood festival of speed about 3 years ago and couldnt belive what it was when my brother told me what it was. Apparently when jaguar was first testing the xj220 they didnt want anyone to see it break down in the centre of london so jaguar basically put the monster of an engine in a builders transit van. So if it broke down people would just think it was another transit breaking down as usual lol.
