That thing has been around for a few years now and runs deep in the 6's. Awesome car. I think the guy that built it recently sold it. ??
I have dreamed of putting an LSx with hidden twin turbos in my 80. My only problem is my pockets aren't that deep

While I'm in awe of folks who go to those lengths for massive competitive power, I'm not so sure I'd perform that type of surgery on a '63/64 Coupe - assuming I had the means in the first place.

Even if I had the money I would not do it, but if this is what you like, then he did it up right. 2400 hp on pump gas and holds (or at least used to) the record for fastest street legal car.
Hey, you gotta give him props for claiming that title with a vette. :-)
Again, not what I would do, but I appreciate the insane skills it took to make it.

Also if I remember correctly, this car was an absolute mess when he decided to make it this radical. So he didn't cut up a nice one.

Good to know. He did a hellava job though. (Imagine somebody seeing those twins in their rearview mirror. )

That car looks bad *** I recall the magizine story many years back about a "sleeper" 80 vette,
It "looked" stock it "sounded" stock but the builder up in New york i believe it was would not give it all away but said it had a huge small block he said 427, keep going....he said he had more $$$ in it to keep the stock look and go fast than just going fast, it ran low 10's with hidden bottle.......i guess 10's are not so fast now days.
