It's good to see the general being creative and thinking outside the box.

I wonder how hard it would be to stuff a 12 bolt or a ford 9 in. in there seeing as how the original rear is IRS and not a live axle.

i think you would have to a 12 bolt or 9 inch in there with that amount of power?

no this isnt true, a center section out of a zo6 would do the trick, or if gm is getting smart they are already selling the z28's and ss's with a powertrain that will hold

i'm not that familiar with the corvette driveline... isn't the tranny in the rear? hmm that would add some nice weight to the back of the car if that hole thing could be swapped.

Yeah for that henessey camaro pictured up there the, gray car, it didn't say that they deviated away from a live axle, so they might be using a trans axle like the vette. But I would still say live axle that bish make it a muscle car again. woot woot.

that is what i thought this was. how do people who build those custom roadsters register them? i always thought u need some basic safety equipment, pass emissions, and you're good to go?
