Hell yeah

Pro street Trans Am. Fake blower, nitrous only for show, cage partially cut away. Probably slower than a stock Trans Am.

About a decade ago a guy named Bill Bolin built a 1970 GTO with a functional double blower setup (you can find videos of it online.) It was probably the inspiration for that Trans Am.

Still had 1 real blower.

Not sure what you mean about the cage.

Too much money, but probably quick enough...

Door bars are gone, and the a pillar down tubes are gone. It's basically a rear hoop at best.

There's no way that second blower does anything. And cage actually makes the car MORE dangerous.

Yeah, as I remember Roots blower do not internally compress (Lychom screw types do I believe), so putting two working blowers in series should result in the same boost as one.

If you read the add, the owner readily admits the second blower is non-functional.

That is the kind of car guy I want to know. I mean if he actually built something like that imagine what crazy ideas he has not built yet.

And he says the blower is modified to sit on top of a standard 4 barrell manifold. This is just bad....... And not in the good way

Repairing/reattaching cage bars wouldn't be that difficult. Yeah, that blower sitting on top of a standard 4 barrel intake makes me curious and scared. Not one pic of the suspension which I always think is pretty important. It is still a good start for a pro street project, but 17,000 seems pricey for a car that needs some work.

Nobody mentioned the sub box and amp next to the fuel cell.

$17,000 and he can't even take the air freshener out of the damn package. Merica.

Don't worry, "it's disconnected due to alternator noise" because correct grounding or a noise filter are apparently to hard / expensive.

Things like this make me want to quit the car hobby. There's obviously a lot of time and effort invested...but for what?
