I think the concept is cool just for the sake of doing it, thats all.
Clearly they didn't just throw motor at it and hope for the best. And the guy was driving like a jackass... I'm sure with the right tires, theres enough traction to haul ass.

nifty.

There's a 383 EG hatch up in NH. Runs low 11's with full interior and 2" full cat, resonator, muffler and the guy just pedals it.

Gross display of horsepower and driveability have nothing to do with each other dumbass :slap:

I can spin my tires all day long and get sideways etc. but I can also turn around and drive it like it was a stocker with no issue.

As for the chassis I seem to remember an article on the build over at LS1tech that covered it and it is an engineering marvel really.

So before you comment stop and take things into consideration
