Ignoring the engine mods for the moment, that is definately the sweetest '57 Chevy that I've ever seen! Just the right balance of chrome / paint , and it's so nice to see one wihout those ghastly rear wheel spats or cliched continental spare tyre kits that most '57s (and other '50s US cars) seem to have. And the engine? I second what Ben said ;D

The 57 is producing 780bhp This is more my cup of tea, from the same site. Only 2 turbos and 583bhp though

V cool looking, but one word springs to mind... Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag Like a good un. Plant yer foot down and by the time all those blowers have spooled up, the guy next to you at the lights will be a distant blur.....

Mmmm imagine accelerating off of a wet roundabout and suddenly 8 turbos spool up.
Some quick reactions required

V cool looking, but one word springs to mind... Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag One of the drag racing guys on Volkszone commented on that, saying that as they are all small they will all spool up quickly, so pretty minimal lag,..

was gonna say... thought the idea behind bi-turbo motors was two smaller is better than one hefty one, smaller turbos do spin up quicker so 8 tiny ones should have almost no lag, certainly not as much as some of the new generation tuuuuuuuuuuuu (wait for it....) uuuuuuuuuuu (come on...) uuuuurbo diesels.

Plant yer foot down and by the time all those blowers have spooled up, the guy next to you at the lights will be a distant blur..... I shouldn't think the lag would be too bad - its probably the reason for having four, what look like relatively small turbos rather that two dustbin lid sized ones + you don't have the losses associated with driving a supercharger. Rev. Theres loads of room under the bonnet of these cars, my mate's Dad's 55 runs a supercharger on its small block and there's still enough room under there for an Imp or two ;D
