It's an awesome, clean and incredibly stealth car, but something with a lot less horsepower may happily walk past you while you're making smoke with those cookie cutters. If you can get it to hook, it'll be awesome.

Gotta love the sleeper look....one reason why I am debating painting my car...all my buddies tell me to leave the little door dings, 80's lacker paint that is cracked and mismatched black hood!

Nice car.

Very cool build. I did a Magnacharger in the GTO. Like yours, all under the hood. Smooth idle, no hassles. But mash the throttle and you enter a whole new world. If anything a different set of rolling stock to change it up a bit from time to time. Take it to the track, keep the hood closed and leave folks scratching their heads.

Default Magnacharger

I am a big turbo guy(other car is a 67 nova sedan 427 lsx with twin 76 precsion turbo's,and a rossler 4l80 getting finished now) but I have to say I am sold on this type of blower set up. Car drives like a stock car but give it some throttle and it feels like a completely different car. If in your budget it is a killer set up. Plans are to leave it as is shiney paint is over rated. I would rather be drinking a cocktail then shinning some paint.

Awesome build, Love the 66-67' sedans. How tough was it keeping the bench with the 6 speed? Was the shorter viper t56 required to clear the bench?

If we get a few more weeks without full on Winter coming, we'll stick the GoPro in it and take a ride.
