I'd much rather have the sunbird parked in my driveway, nobody ever saw a sunbird and said "what the hell is that hideous thing ?!"
Who was the jackass that put sub-zero?
I thought it was sarcasm....If you read the thread you'd know. Also, clicking on the number of votes for each category will show you who voted for it, if votes are publicly visible.
To the dungeon with this thing. Also those "jet thrusters" are most likely the exhausts.
Or Will.I.Am.Looks like something a 12 year old dreamt up. There will be people who will put their name down for one of these and they are collectively known worldwide as morons.
So.. what does a V16 sound like?
There's the Cizeta V16T. It's more "two V8's welded together with a transmission in the middle" than a true V16, but it's probably the best comparison we'll get.It does definitely have a strange sound to it. When it's first approaching it sounds like a brotank with that obnoxious droning exhaust system all lifted Silverados seem to end up with. Then it sounds like a clapped-out heap with a rusted-off muffler, sort of. Then, at the end when it's revving, it sounds like an OHV V10 a la Dodge Viper.
And I don't think there's really any reference for what a V16 sounds like, since the last production model was probably made in the 1930's and was probably a sidevalve. The last V16 period was probably a really tiny one made for F1 racing, still a very long time ago.
@Justin I agree about the name, though I'm not sure.
You know you're planning a crazy car when your publicized numbers are above that of completely fictitious cars from videogames...Crazy fast fictional supercar with outrageous specs, at least for the time period. Numbers weren't as crazy as this thing though.
I every time I see it I think "drivel" and LOL a little.The name of the brand sounds like a cheeky attempt to make a company called Devil, which makes anything they "produce" seriously uncool. Than you have the name of the car itself, which happens to be the combined age of the design team, which doesn't help.
