A wonderful job. Most people would see the wheels and the exhaust and assume it's some sixteen year old punk trying to make his ride look cool right up until the point where the taillights fly by.
Best part about this car is you could do burnouts and doughnuts in a parking lot all day long and when the cops came by they would never guess that it was a Volvo that did it.

Looks like the ricer but the engine is great.
500bhp don't make it look like a ricer anymore..

becuase its got a LS1 corvette (?) engine...Its really fast. Then becuase it's a volvo, if you crash into something lets say, like a corvette with a LS1 engine, you are completely safe from harm. So health and Safety would say this car is perfect and is completely road legal. I LOVE THAT!

Sweet pics.
GM powered (LS1 motor) and Ford driven (9-inch rear). You gotta love that :D
What worries me though is his interest in getting sponsored. IMO, any sponsoring ruins the car. Not only does it make it look like an ass with all kinds of ugly stickers and paint jobs and, it loses the passion of the individual to the money of the sponsors.

It's great, but a Ford engine would've been more "Volvo-ish" knowing that Ford owns Volvo, but w/e. That classic V8 sound must be fun to listen to every day, and smoking the sad, stereotypical "ricer".....

I LOVE THAT!Keep in mind the car's front member must have required extensive modification to fit that LS1 in there so that would compromise the engineering somewhat.
