That's not a C5-R, it's the World Challenge LG Motorsports C5 based Vette. They eventually got it to run mid 130's I think, it was the fastest NA 346 for a while, maybe still is.

At that time, it had a "Rolex Cup" sbc motor, 35x cubic inches and over 8000 rpms, not an LS motor. That video was from one of the earlier Fastest Street Vettes in Texas showdowns.

That is undoubtably the best sounding Vette in my opinion. It sounded bad *** the first time I saw it and it sounds just as good now.
