Default Holy crap!

Okay, this isn't a vette, but a 1969 camaro...1240 HP! A little off topic, but I had to share this with you guys.

Almost 1100 Ft. Lbs of torque will probably kill that TKO 600 in short order, but an awesome ride.

How much do you think it cost do build that thing? A 69 camaro used to be my dream car - I couldn't find one cheap enough and then found my vette

That thing would need a rear end out of a dump truck if it ever hooked up.

A Moser 12 bolt rear would handle most anything you can throw at it. The TKO 600 will self destruct if drag racing with slicks is your primary function with the car. You would think with all the HP he could have upgraded the brake system. It looks like all the $$$ went into the motor. Nice ride though.
