Default This C4 Corvette Has Turbochargers for Headlights



This C4 is hurled down the strip by a 540 cubic-inch big block Chevy, with two 88mm turbos placed in the headlights to supplement the air intake.

I wonder if that C4 Corvette has a single part in/on it, from a C4 Corvette?

I didn't watch the video with sound; but looks like the cab, doors and windshield at least are

Something about those strip made cars is only the look. The only Corvette on that car is the visual.

The twin turbos look it's pretty cool knowing it is a race car.

The front A-Arms are stock. The front frame-rail looks to be stock too (as seen in the video).

I have no doubt to it's being "faster than hell" -but- it's an ugly thing, to be sure !!

But then again, I'm confident that the owner sees it as a "work of art !!"

You're right. Sharp observations. I noticed that the "Corvette" emblem on the front looks like it could be a stock part too.
