Link isn't working, but if it's the one I think it is, it's almost as old as the internet.

I have only been on a LS1 kick for a couple of years. Its the first I have ran across it. Either way, definitely worth another look. What a car! Why is the link not working? Ill try it one more time. If it doesn't work you can always copy and paste or go to http://www.lateral-g.net/

That's a cool ride! I found it yestarday. But for 8 turbos It does not make that much power: http://www.lateral-g.org/sandlin/Inciner8orSpecs.pdf

That car was built for one reason - to make people talk. It was all about the engineering and craftsmanship. The owner has an incredible collection of cars, including a ProMod that's runing in the PSCA.

What's amazing about the 8 turbo '57 is that you'd never guess what was under the hood. It starts, idles, and drives down the road like a stock LS1. I've driven it, it's really quite a machine, and that was the whole point.
