Could be worse. A lot worse.

A lot worse.

(Observe how Butters - Chris Rock - is holding that. We will blame the nitrous oxide)

Personally I love the fact that art exists in the world. There are so many ugly houses and building that beauty in the world.

That guy must have too much time, and too much money. Toyota as a V12 (1GZ-FE), that is essentially two 2JZ engines. I bet that thing weighs more than a Duramax diesel engine...lol
While true, this appears to be a 120 degree V12, which may have given some advantages. And note that this engine is center exhaust/outside intake.
A 1gzfe is a 60 degree v12 with an aluminum block, I think they weigh 450ish I'll be able to show more when mine comes in the mail
  • Shoot, if the 1GZ-FE weighs only 450lbs,, I'd put that in my SLC instead of the LS3 that's going in it. As long as I can get about 550HP our of it. I know that a 2JZ engine is a portly 594lbs.

  • Not sure what advantage the Hot Head design would give except maybe a little clearance in the engine bay. On a V8 you get the advantage of evening up the exhaust pulses (at least it sounds exotic).

Unfortunately, to me, a chrome blob isn't art.

Edit: I do get your point though.

It's stunning, I could look at it for hours. I was there again on Sunday and looked at it as the light changed early in the morning. Beautiful Also snapped this

I'm sure that 1gz weight number is very undressed

German aircraft from Norway would fly on missions to attack northern England. Because of the icy weather conditions, the barrels of their guns had a small dab of wax in the muzzle to protect them from clogging with ice.

In addition to attacking industrial or other targets close to golf courses, as they crossed the coast, they would clear their guns by firing a few rounds at the golf courses. Golfers were urged to take cover.
