	Take one Volvo 360... And a BMW V12... A few body modifications Well, I thought this was pretty insane.. and then.. I saw this... Twin Superchargers anyone? Surely that's enough.... no... How about a turbo for each bank, too?! ;D Full build can be seen here: www.300power.com/forum/index.php?board=17;action=display;threadid=2331

	How did this one get this far down the page without any replies?! Love it! Give that man a medal! He should be seeing the right side of 1000bhp with that set up surely? Those V12s are 5.0l arent they? Mental!

	Managed to deduce from the Foreign Johnny text that it should be chucking out 650-700bhp when up and running! Give that man a big lollipop!!! Top stuff :-)

	strewth! mind you, a company up the road has done a supercharged bmw 850 that cranks out just over 600bhp, surely 650-700 is conservative with that much forced aspiration? still love the bonkers-ness of it

	That's deliciously insane. I can't help thinking it needs a tartan blanket and a nodding dog of some description (maybe one of those Christian 'fish' symbols too) FTW, though.

	That does look a bit mental but have to say that if it were mine I'd have not bothered with the forced induction and would have kept it all under stock bodywork. Not a criticism just a view! Hats off to them for going over the top in every way!
	Follow your dreams or you might as well be a vegetable.

	I think 6 months where you can't drive and in almost permenant darkness gives you a bit of quality time!!!!
