Big_Muzzie Unregistered B	It has some appeal - yet I'm not sure why. It would grow on me. I'd rather not have a viper - there may be no replacement for dispalcement but a 3.0 could manage what that 8.0 original managed.

Twin turbo..... You just have to listen... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OMUOriUgRc Last edited by Gripped; 12/04/2013 01:10.

I bet this looks incredible in the flesh though. I have a (mostly) original MK1 Interceptor and love it to bits. Awesome cars. 1998 Steel Grey 20V Turbo

Yeah, it sounds almost like the perfect noise for me.... grunty V8 throb and serious top end wail..... with a sweet topping of twin-turbo icing.

johnnybravoturbo Unregistered J	Looks a brilliant job with great attention to detail yet retaining simplicity and originality with a twist. Very impressive. But its the price of three houses in this area
