I have been following the progress of this car for quite some time. They just came out with a pre-production unit. The body is a full production unit, they are still tweaking on the interior and a few other things. It is a kit car and uses a C5 corvette for the donor car and a porsche G50 tranny. A stock LS1 is good for high 11's. The car weighs 2240 lbs! I of course am planning on forced induction.

Fun project, not cheap but worth the time, effort and money from the looks of it.

I like it. I would put in a 4g64 or...a twin turbo 502 big block.

Unreal, why would you put a 4G64 in it? It was made to hold an LS1, arguably one of the best motors made for basic power to date.

If that car was mine, itd get Heads, cam, intake, and longtubes. Maybe build the motor for a little more compression and walla, you have a 2300lb 550ish RWHP car (On pump gas) that is actually pretty damn reliable.

You know you only want it for the big wing.

Just to annoy V8 guys with a 700 hp 4 cyl.

dude that car must be soooo damn wide. cuz corvettes are already like the widest thing ever and it looks like that kit adds about another 4 inches on both sides.
Awesome ride though. Does it have a name?

That car looks sweeter every time I see it. I think a high revving small displacement V8 would be awesome in there.
