Insider nick names for cars and parts

[nb6179505]

Guys thinking about something creative, but need some creative ammo

There was nicknames for cars, car parts etc, help me come up with ideas that are more or less "inside" or in the know names, Porsche preferred but other car marques acceptable...

Example for cars:

Clownshoe, BMW m coupe
Godzilla, Nissan GTR
Bugeye, Subaru WRX pre 2004
Widowmaker, Porsche 930

Example for car parts:

Sugar scoops, domestic g body headlight surrounds
Whale tail, Carrera spoilers
Tea trays, 930 spoilers
Boxer, flat engines

Thanks guys!

I've been enjoying Nazi Slot Car since it was suggested on this site a month or two ago.

Edit: a little boy was going nuts about the porsche today. His parents explained he had a thing about porsches. They said to him, he's about three or four, what would you buy if you won lotto. He said a porsche (good boy!) I said he could sit in the 911 but everything being so covid-19 the parents said thanks but no thanks.

Yup- on a street car it's the Holley that's junk compared to a Qjet. You go to Cliff Ruggles to get your Q built, I did and he also did my

Dizzy- distributor. Now the car runs like a complete bastard on crack.

Also don't forget hair-dryer (turbo) or huffer, supercharged.
