I believe the idea is that they cool the brakes.

It has a NOS Fogger kit!?

Really, where?

That car shows multiple examples of, "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" -J

Yeah those vents/scoops in the rear flares look really bad.

Some observations:

>Nice fire extinguisher mounted to the glove box door
>The roll bar looks like a complete joke. Look at the kink in the middle of it!!!!
>Exhaust pipe is about 6 in. too long
>What's mounted on top of the dash? Shift light??
>Note the NOS and "STREET RACER" decals in the engine bay, lower left of engine picture. Dood, NOS is so bad azz..........
>Does it have two air filters- cone outside the box and regular filter inside the box?

Wow $39K??? That's laughable.

For the love of crest stickers!!

Could really be a nice car, with some reversals....

The solenoid is just above the airbox on the left side. To me, a fogger system has typically been plumbed directly to the cylinders via the intake runners.

The way you mention is really the only way it makes sense. Can someone with a better screen tell if those vents are even open in the fender?

The side scoops combined with the engine bay stickers add about 25HP

slimlynn1 01-23-2015 10:31 AM

The roll bar is only seat height.

Reiver 01-23-2015 11:14 AM

Dangerous roll bar..height and position....even a fender bender would have you smacking your skull on the damn thing. Kill you in a normal walk away accident.

HorstP 01-23-2015 11:40 AM

no worries. His shoulders will slip out of the 4 point harness with the stock seats anyway, so the head will impact the steering wheel instead of the rollbar :)

msterling 01-23-2015 11:53 AM

Rollbar is OK if you are 3'6" or less
NOS=engine death really soon
I would only pay roller price for this car and then chisel off the fender vents.

Wherz Playa?

KTL 01-23-2015 11:59 AM

The roll bar "hoop" has no triangumalation (that's a technical term, BTW) and the giant rear "legs" have little function at all, given their obtuse (what did you call me? http://youtu.be/_IrCgt-Bt1I?t=2m37s ) angle to the hoop.

I asked the question in jest. I also get the feeling those ducts go nowhere and are strictly cosmetic. Of course they do add 25 bhp by themselves! :D

scarceller 01-24-2015 06:36 AM

The scoops on the side are to slow the car down and keep it stable from the incredible power the other mods give that engine!

nvr2mny 01-24-2015 06:42 AM

Yes, BUT, the speakers in the front valance (next to the fog lights) is a nice touch.....

RSBob 01-24-2015 08:46 AM

What kind of speedo is that? And who ever said yellow and red are not the racey of the raciest? The dood obviously liked the Shelby side scoops and was looking for any excuse to slap some on. The increased drag must help braking.
