Reason: Added photo because the auction was ended ("$7,302.00 Reserve not met") and the page won't be up much longer.

Hmmm...love the engine.

But the wheels...they ruin the whole thing. Ewww.

Well...

Something out of Mad Max but not as interesting nor unique. All that money when you can get a smoke machine. Looks like 20's that belong on some street cruisers with loud music blasting but there were no subs in the trunk. Not sure what category: drag, donk, ricer, sleeper, low rider... A Space Shuttle Rocket in a Stratofortress perhaps (nothing wrong with them mind you). Not sure that's a good way to treat that Volvo and he really needs a Racing Seat and Roll Cage with all that power.

Blessings,

Racing with an automatic transmission on a quad turbo? No offence but that seems a bit... Umm... challenging to me.
Did you notice the big red pushbutton on the cockpit? That's the Seat Eject.

At my age, there should be very few things that could amaze me...

I'm not sure what it is either, but it definitely ain't a sleeper.

No wonder why it didn't sell (yet)...

You wont find many manual trannies that can handle that kind of power

The interior looks ghetto.
The engine is not volvo, its chevy.
you definitely need a manual trans in that thing.
The paint job looks second class and the rims I agree are hideous.

I thought that manual ones handle substantially larger power
