This car DID for sure have a 7.0 V8 and it sounded so sweet the owner told me the specs on it. So I was just going by what he said. All I know is I loved that car. You may be right, it may be a mosler.

Nice! I'm not sure what it is... It does sorta have that TVR look. But like i said i'm almost positive they dont make a 7.0 litre v8. Regardless its a sweet car, just may not be a TVR.

The fastest car I can recall riding in is an 04 Cobra with 440+rwhp. It's run a best of 12.4 in the quarter, but everybody here knows it's capable of much quicker.


When we were younger (much younger), my sister was picked up by a friends father in a Jaguar XJ220. This was back when we lived in Miami. My parents took a picture for me that I've never scanned, because they had just bought me a model of the car for christmas the previous year then all a sudden it was in our driveway. I wasn't there to see it...

well it may have been one of those cars you had to see it in person cuz I showed my bro the pics of it and he said it looks like *** also. But eitehr way I think it was pretty bad ***. The front end had the most TVR look to it it had sweet huge headlights and there were like four bulbs in it ( almost like a big square with rounded edges type headlight ) odd but cool
