That car was done a few years ago. It is badass. There are apparently a few of them not just this one.

The fact that he did it in 31 days is amazing. The amount of work and fabrication is amazing.

I've seen this car for the last three years nearly every weekend. The guy himself is a great guy, real friendly and VERY knowledgeable. He has two SUPERCHARGED LS1 powered Porsches of his own, and a Corvette last I talked with him.

Is the wing intercooler a custom one-off piece or is it an aftermarket companies product? Either way its pretty creative.

It very likely has a better balance due to the mentioned weight advantage offered by the LS-6. However, handling might not be quite as good because of the raised center of gravity due to the V-configuration and the supercharger components on top....

Still, I'd love to drive it.

Yea, I mean you cant get much better than something that performs two extremely important things at the same time, while looking good.

Acceleration in that car should be stellar if the power is there, all that weight right on rear wheels like that.

I have a LS3 block sitting in my garage, waiting to be put into something! Right now it's supposed to go in a 240sx but a porsche looks so tempting!
