Thats kind of what I was thinking, he must have had “10" on the brain.

Yeah, he said in the comments that he misspoke. His brain did a “10 cylinders” to “10 liters” burp.
“600 cubic inches, about 10 liters, the same displacement as a viper.”
I’m an avid hater of Corvettes, especially C3 and C4 Corvettes, but I kinda love this thing. I think the extra length looks really good on the C4 body, and pretty much anything with a V12 is good in my book. I don't love how it sounds though... it sounds, well, like a boat engine.
I like the extra long front end looks better. How I despise that electronic dash though, ugh. glad that was only for one gen... (i think?)
…eight inches of extra length to get the V12 under its clamshell.
You’re coming at it from the wrong perspective.
I would rather read about this than the Canadian lady writing for a Car page stuck in Texas telling us all we should not leave our house because of a pandemic, but doing so in an RV simply to lug her books, because that shit does not ship for some unknown reason.
Reading about David’s adventures are partially responsible for me NOT having POS vehicles of my own to make my wife mad at me......keep wrenching and traveling David.
I think he’s already screwed with his welding the sway bar bracket on after breaking a bolt thing. David makes sturdy welds, but I don’t remember him making pretty welds. I don’t see a TUV inspector being cool with the idea of a car with a weld repair that isn’t perfect going down the Autobahn. But I’ve only…
I am eagerly awaiting the TUV trials to see just how much money and time David is willing to throw at this van. My hope is that he’s all-in and that things will get very silly.
David’s adventures with beaters are virtually the only thing on Jalopnik that DOESN’T irritate at least half the audience.
To me the real fun will start when he gets the vehicle to what he considers road worthy and has to get a TUV inspection. Many Germans will sell their cars at something like 9 years old because the TUV inspections check EVERYTHING. And even a well maintained 9 year old car will have enough things that aren’t exactly…
YES I GIVE A SHIT! Don’t be an asshole! Many jalopniks live just for the “WTF is he gonna do next to top this shitbox?” with Dave. He actually teaches us a lot of useful tips in discussing how he approaches his challenges. If nothing else we follow for the Schadenfreude!
Yes, yes we do. These are some of my favorite articles on here. If you are looking for the latest review of exotic sports cars 99.99% of people will never be able to own, you have come to the wrong place.
While I do enjoy the mechanical details of DT’s wrenching articles, there are always human interest elements that are equally entertaining. You didn’t get a warm spot reading about Loyal sucking in gas fumes for some random stranger?
Then.... don’t click the story.
And yet you did come here, read this, and take the time to comment. Shouldn’t you be out working on your own POS?
Are you new here or something? This is like bread and butter to most of us.
