Just saw the show, not my thing to "Bling" a vette out like that, but cool to see any vette on the air, and beyond cool to see Father/Son love of that level.
Hope the kid is doing well.

Well, that car is "show" and "go"...it's powered with a Cartek 441, and makes 550+rwhp N/A. To be honest, when you see that car up close and personel, it is not over the top...it's actually bling I could easily live with.

And yes, Steven is doing just fine now.

Just having 550 Hp does not make a car "go". The owner has to use the 550 HP to make it a "go" Vs just sit around and talk about how great it is. How much drag racing is done, how many track events, how many autocrosses, etc. These are what make a car a "go" car.
