Foose design XKE replaces V12 with LS3 saves 600 LBs doubles HP ....who da man?

That does not sit well with me. I'm not saying I don't want to drive it, but it does not sit well with me.

Dad, or should I say son. I don't think the 'hood' talk is your thing.

Sacrilege

No no no no no no no

I love a Chevy SB I have a Range Rover 4.0 litre injected V8 engine fitted in a Reliant Scimitar (It's basically a Buick engine) and it does 150mph

But in an e-type? What a waste!

I am glad to see the V-12 go, good job.

I love it.

No WW... you don't fit in the Foose creation.

Yeah OK I DO hate the stupid scoop, totally inefficient heat extraction,compared to the vents and just butt ugly, this ain't no Ferrari knock off right Foose?

I like Foose, but cramming an American v8 in a European roadsters has been done. Several times! Surprise me and throw a V10 or a modern V12 in there.

No...NO it doesn't.

I would like to state to the engineering department that I am not fond of the new self folding side mirrors, or what they represent.

Mr Foose, designer of the year award winner, tell me why you made those Dumbo sculptured bland tail lights instead of iconic XKE tailights, and no hood louvers. C'mon man, I only ask because we luv your work.

Trim 600 lbs, double the HP.... catch up with the concept.

Still...... losing the Iconic taillights, and calling it XKE?
No no... no...no....

People used to put fast, reliable Buick V6 engines in the old Triumph TR-7's

Yeah well they're all dead now because of it.

That is becasue you do not understand design. You think a v8 sounds 1/2 as good as a v12?

V12 is naturally balanced, no flywheel needed.

You mean V8s in the TR8?

They were mean and super rapid

Yes YES it does! It has a fibreglass body and 240hp of course it does. The front gets VERY light at an indicated 140mph

It was still pulling at 145 but I lost my nerve at 150

its the the wheels. The wheels are fugly.

some guy in texas was doing this years ago

like cars that run or something in hemmings

mu uncle bought a slightly newer jag from the guy with a chevy stroker in it beast

found it

No, it must have been strictly an American mod. In the 1980's we had small Buick V6 engines that fit well into the TR7.

Ok so they wouldn't blend in but.... why not a recessed replica?

Wadsworth, spit out that turd you're smoking chocking on and.... seeeeee the Jag.
