i agree with hawk! that car is ruined because of the camaro engine. if the dude has the money, he should have at least put a jaguar s-type R motor in there, or an XJR or something. sure jags are fords, but at least they still pretend to be british. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I was never a big fan of Rolls of any year, or benz's of any year, or most luxury cars, but if id but one, id prolly go with some kind of caddilac, theyll always be one of my favorite lux cars, below that would prolly be a nice lincoln, but at this point in my life, luxury "boats" arent my cup-of-tea

was that directed to me?
if so, does it really matter that the camaro engine is the same as the one in the corvette? thats not the point, its still the same crappy GM engine. for your info, i know that the vette and the camaro share motors...that isnt really a big secret. the reason i said camaro was because your link said the swap was with a 98 camaro engine.
fact of the matter remains, i think it would have been a classier choice to go with a jag engine, since its still somewhat brittish. or maybe even a VW motor...since that is the parent company now.
