I have to ask, what kind of car are you using that needs a 5 litre V12? I find the 1.8T VW GTI i drive every so often (It's my Father's "other" car (his main is a Chipped BMW 535D...330BHP and more torque than God) but when i'm home it's mine:D) that's tuned to 250BHP more than enough! 0-60 in about 3" of rubber.

Dade shoehorned that V12 into a Smart ForTwo... nah... a Beemer 3 series and broke the whole car. I've been kiddin' him about it for days.

Surely he'd have been better shoving it in the boot of a Volvo V70 and making it drive the rear while still keeping the current engine driving the front? That'd make possibly the fastest estate car in the world!

Great idea! I like it! I think Dade was trying to make the world's fastest Segway... :D

LOL. I'm guessing he snapped the chassis in half?

To be honest i was quite scared when i was driving my Father's Chipped 535D, the amount of torque is just mind-boggling. 40-70mph is dispatched almost instantaneously!

Just wondering, what're you driving?

Back home it's a 2006 Chrysler 300 C SRT-8. Mafia car. What else would you expect from me? :lol:

Then again over in the States you guys get the Shelby GT500 for $40,000 (£22,000) . That's the same price as a Golf GTI over here. You lucky twats.

That's the car I wanted. It was only a few thou over the 300 C. But the suits at my office refused to lease it for me because of some crap about insurance category. So I fooled them into gettin' me the SRT-8 by lettin' em think I was getting the 2.7L V6! DORKS! HAHAHAHA!!!!! :twisted:

You try dropping a 5l V12 engine in a 1989 E30 BMW...



That's easy. You lift the V12 about ten feet above the 1989 BMW and drop it. Now if you plan to drive the BMW afterwards, well, that's another question.

I think what Dade did had just about the same final effect! :lol:
