WOW, that toranado is quite the sleeper!
|
He has a 572 in that Buick.
|
And the Toronado is built around a C5 Corvette chassis... --- let's see someone do that with a 911.... :P
|
I envy Jay Leno.... boy do I envy him.

EDIT: I noticed that the intake is different than when it was originally. It had two large panel filters on top of the engine going to the turbo's because there was no room infront what with an Intercooler and 3 radiators. |
I was watching RIDES on TLC channel and Jay was showing off a lot of his cars, I suggest if you can find that episode it's worth watching it.
|
that's the one where he built that Toronado right? That was a good show.
|
I think so, they made it rear wheel drive instead of front wheel drive. Is that the show you're thinking of?
|
yeah that's the car shown above.
OH BTW that had something like 375hp in the Front Wheels so it could handle more than 220hp or whatever. |
it must problematic 380 hp on front tires

wait... did u just say that the toronado was FWD !?! im confused.
|
yes the Toronado was like one of the first FWD cars atleast in the US.
The system was a longitudinal engine with a longitudinaly mounted FWD tranny like those found on Audi's but the trans was set next to the engine and was chain driven like some transfer cases are done. It was a very unique system and it worked great but they say that any more power and the chain's wouldn't hold up, they would break before anything else. and they had no problems with the FWD setup otherwise. |
