Loose at 60 m.p.h., yawn, normal everyday driving. Really.

Different car, 1500 h.p.. 13.5 slick if I recollect. Vette is a nice(easy) car to drive in comparison to most.

That is unreal!!! I think my car is outside the shop in that video. I feel bad, my car is sick and I can only have The Vette Drs. add a cam and heads. I feel sick that I cannot have a Twin Turbo right now!!!!!!!!!!!

Since the car is getting back halved and there has already been so much invested, how 'bout a promotional video of a 1000hp Vette on slicks grenading the stock IRS and associated parts? 
You could add a post mortem documentary feature, maybe even catch the carnage on video with an under car camera. Hey, I bet you could get the Myth Busters or one of those Monster shows to finance it.

Before any back halving occurs, we will run her on stock suspension to see what she can do.
The drivetrain consists of a Rodney built MN12 tranny , fully built cryoed dIfferential from The Vette Doctors and a DTE strut brace. And of course the Triple Plate Exedy.
Stay tuned for dyno numbers. Weather was cold but streets were clean. Had a chance to rack up some miles.....
