Default Cousin's LS1 240
He finally finished his car after about 2.5 years of building it from the ground up. It's an 89 240 with a cammed LS1 that makes around 380rwhp and weighs in at 2300lbs. It's pretty quick and obviously a drift car. He had some pics taken last night by Justin and here are some teaser pics...

got to say that is one of the best examples of a s13 done up right, this one and the risky devil s13 that has a cammed LS1 also and those same exact wheels!

oh btw, more pics on the car or a build thread or something haha

I was hoping for a 240z but that looks impressive enough on its own. Nice job.
