Default ZR1 Corvette vs An LSX-swapped *****'s Jeep That Pulls Wheelies On The Street



ZR1 Corvette vs An LSX-swapped *****'s Jeep That Pulls Wheelies On The Street

By Justin Fivella

In case you forgot about the infamous LSX *****'s Jeep from several months ago, well, it's back and badder than ever thanks to a new nitrous kit and plenty of stick Mickey Thompson rubber underneath. The result? Twisted-up wheelstands on the street and enough to smoke a ZR1. Don't believe us? Have a look for yourself and enjoy the hacked-out launches! OK, so it doesn't have an actual LSX (the GMPP block) swap, if I recall, it's a 4.8 or a 5.3 but with some cam and a little N20, this LSX-powered Jeep is a hole-shot monster.
Words can't explain the insanity that this Jeep is. Seriously, just controlling the thing must be a chore. I wonder what it weighs and what it's putting down on the spray? Either way, you won't find me behind the wheel of one anytime soon! It's pure insanity!

How much did Kyle mod it? I think he just had a shop here in Des Moines do longtubes, xpipe, etc. Did he do more than that?

Hopefully his new setup includes a cage! Guys had more ***** than brains, makes for good fun tho! lol

Seriously he's going too fast already. Needs some safety mods for sure.

I told him several time he needs a cage lol. He is well aware of it and knows the risk.
