Hope the AC works well.

Looks like a classy set-up!
Aside from the AC, I wonder if you can hear the radio (which looks to be present)?
I can only guess that the fuel cell is under the hood?

I imagine the steering goes very light when you plant the throttle. Also: are those Toronado drivetrains prone to torque steer? Because that would be extra entertaining/terrifying.

OH YES

Remember there was one of these modded to look like a mini-F40? Well...

Must be equipped with a cabin air filter...no air cleaner required.

I still remember when i think Junkyard Wars built a dragster thing with this drivetrain and didnt have the front and rear control arm mounts level and it toed in like crazy and put them in the wall.

That was a rookie mistake, though. This looks pro-level.

I would guess that you'd have to have the windows open when you drive as the engine would probably suck all the air out of the inside and the driver have a hard time breathing.

Man, with the correct amount of counter-steer to go along with the torque-steer, you could crab walk that car for 1/4 mile!

That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! To think that a Yugo was manufactured well enough to be air tight when it left the dealership, let alone 30 years later, is ridiculous! HAHAHAH

Those engines are torque monsters, keeping the front end near the ground will be an adventure.

That's OK. It was meant to be funny.

Guess at this point it doesn't matter if the hand-warmers work (rear window defrost).
