Sometimes it's not what you start with, it's what you end up with.

Well, when your car has fab work like that, and an engine like that, then you can make comments about it being a four door 80s sedan that originally came with a turbo I6. Better yet, when you have fab work and an engine like that on ANY car that you own, then you can make comments like that. I'm not crazy about the base vehicle, but I really like what it's turning into.
Since when are they turbo? Regardless I'd love to get into a nice clean E30 or E28, maybe one day.

You could probably see how that got misinterpreted.

The Koenigsegg CCR used a modified, Rotrex supercharged Ford Modular 4-valve DOHC 4.7L V8, which produced 806 hp (601 kW), to achieve a top speed of 241 mph (388 km/h). This certified top speed was recorded on February 28, 2005 in Nardo, Italy and broke the McLaren F1's world record for fastest production car. [15] The accomplishment was recognized by Guinness World Records in 2005, who gave the Koenigsegg CCR the official title of World's Fastest Production Car. The Koenigsegg record was broken several months later by the Bugatti Veyron. This engine is the basis for Koenigsegg's twin-supercharged flexible fuel V8 seen in the CCX.
