saw this yesterday when i was looking around topgear.com. i think this things pretty badass, although i dont know how a bored out LS7 can handle boost any better than the normal LS7. maybe they used and LSX block or something of the like? oh well, i normally hate lime green on anything but Lambo's, but that car looks siiiiick

Sorry, no thanks. For the money, I'd rather have a normaly aspirated, billet aluminum 500 ci c6rs from Pratt and Miller.

Wow i love it, although ill take it in red yellow lambo orange or cyber gray. Only thing is the sides are 100% stock other than paint. Ok for almost $300k i get no side skirt? LOL. The tailights could have been bigger too. But still, if i saw that on the street id run.

+1 the rear is hideous. The stock rear is way better.

Sorry, you gotta remember that the 600hp/600tq is using the stock factory ls7 cam, heads and intake manifold. The ls7 guys are getting 40-50hp from simply upgrading cams, imagine what another 63 cubic inches with a bigger cam would get you.
