I think it's hilarious when people see a little clip of him acting crazy and think the guy is just stupid.

Ive been following his channel since he first got Leroy and stripped it down....I've enjoyed the journey from then to now. Another great channel is Salomondrin.

I wondered how long it would take for someone to bring up Cleetus, since he's got Leroy the Savage, a C5 (if you can call it that now) that is running 8 second 1/4 mile. He's got cheesy tag lines, but the build is pretty sweet and full of Bald Eagles. His gf is pretty hot, too.

Last dyno he recorded was just under 1000hp, but they have since then tuned the car for even more boost.

I'm not a fan of this Cleetus guy's personality, but like the idea of the car.

How feasible would it be to turn a C5 into a budget Ariel Atom of sorts? But unlike this Leroy car, something that would be more suited for road courses rather than drag racing.

The benefits being less weight from the removed body panels, but also easier access to maintain/repair the car based on the abuse it takes from the track.
