Like a Berger ZL1 Camaro, or a Dodge Viper Venom 1000. What about a TWR XJ220S?

Get ready to be very jealous... One of the 6 TWR XJ220s’s lives less then 10 minutes from my house... And it is one of the 2 still road legal and the only one road legal in its original color... The owner drives it regularly and also bought a XJ15 and is having it shipped on its 25th birthday.

Was this the guy you said let you sit in his F40?

I don’t think he wanted to try since he drives his cars enough as well as it being so close to 25.

Any Mallett Cars tuned Sky or Solstice, but specifically the Pit Bull.

I always find the coolest tuner cars are the one you never expect to be “tuned”. Not like a sleeper car where you just can’t tell until you hear it roar, but like an old Volvo wagon with an engine swap and loads of stickers, or a slammed Datsun truck with a screaming rotary and flashy paint job, or an old Mercedes or Jag that’s CLEARLY been ripped apart and put back together totally different. They are always my fav.

There was a more common 480hp version with a slightly less outrageous body kit.

I love XJSes, and a racecar version is nothing but better.

Those are Ford powered right? Not based on Mustangs?

I have three or four videos of this car in my youtube favorites. Such a noise.

I grew up loving Saleens, especially the blown S351's. Give me a 97-98 so it’s got the T56. Who can say no to a 490 horse, blown 351W? Give me a widebody Dick Harrel Camaro too. 427 C5R mill with 630 horses? That’ll do pig.

Ooh! There’s a guy near me with a Saleen!

I’d love to see a Firebird version of that widebody.

Me too! All the tuners ignored them for some reason.

I love the RUFs, and the Alpinas if they count. Some of the Lingenfelter cars are terrific too.
