nice car! i would rather see a 96 used as a race car then an older car. the older cars are getting hard to find and there is a world full of 96 models.

My gosh! If you're going to make a full race car, do it to an OLD vette, NOT A NEW FUEL INJECTED ONE!
This project was started in 1996 and was not fully completed until 2000...a total of $225,000 was spent on this car during this 4 year time-frame.

I love that car!
The valves almost never close! I like how he says you should be an experienced driver to own this car and his description is obviously for kids that know nothing about cars.
The incredible roller camshaft has 713 lift with 317 duration. Special hardened pushrods were used
