I've always loved the Countach, and I really wish I had the money when they dipped down as low as $60k (I was only like $58k short at the time!).

That's one kit car that I would consider building, so long as it was one of the tube chassis cars that actually had the correct proportions. Then I wouldn't feel guilty about using an LS.

What year was the Countach down to $60K?

That would be an expensive "fender bender" if you got rear ended at any speed! Bad ass though.

I personally always hate the butchered up look on cars like that. I get they want to show it off, but it just looks like some half assed shade tree shit to me.

I would agree in 99.9% of cases, but sometimes they do it right. The Bimmer looks OK. I do think that the ricer movement brought more of this hack modding to the car culture, but that could just be my memory failing me.

yall know im the photoshop police, and even before i posted this pic, i thought the rear of that bimmer looked suspicious. notice the the blue of the rear bumper two outer halfs look differrent. kind of cloudy and blury.
and the part where all the turbos are just looks kinda "flat".
i first thought the whole turbo area appeared to have a vignette around the edges, but on closer look, those shadows could be correct.
i know removing the bumpers on super cars and photoshoping on these rear turbos is pretty popular these days, i wonder if this got the same treatment? and only the first pic is real.

It could be Photoshopped, but the image has filters on it so it's hard to tell.

The pic is on his Instagram account

This what he put on the pic of the rear of it:
@bsaintmedia Haters will say it’s photoshopped, but the haters also said I wouldn’t LS swap it. 😈 🚙 + 📷 @bsaintmedia #bsaintmedia #gmwm3 #e36m3 #e36 #e36fanatics #ultimateklasse #lse36 #e36gang #Mpower #bmwmnation #bmwm3 #twinturbo #twinturbos #rearturbo #bfcot #bmwgram #bmwmotorsport #bimmer #Bmwlife #bmwfan #speedhunters #thespeedhunters #1320 @ultimateklasse

I recall seeing some tickle that mark in the early 2000s.

Third-Gen Chevelle with a ZR1 motor. Um yes, please! Talk about freaking sleeper!

So we move into the LT Swap generation. Although LSes will never die!

6 liter LS swap into a 1976 Winnebago Chieftain....and then they added a turbo.......
brings a whole new meaning to the term "sleeper"

So you build a really nice car, and then you ruin it with a set of headlights

I don't think halos look bad when done tastefully like they are on this car.

That Winnebago is goofier than a football bat. I'd have loved to have had that thing so many times living here with all the snow turds.
