Default Photoshoot: "Yellow Car"
This car's been on the road for about two years. Just thought I'd share. No kits were used. Everything is custom fabricated. 1265rwhp/1103rwtq on 18 pounds of boost. There is a 250 shot of nitrous that hasn't even been used before. Boost can be turned up to 25 psi.

Thats sick! 1. question though.... Almost 1300 rwhp and stock brakes? They are Z06 brakes, but I would think he might want to spring for an upgrade. Gorgeous car! I keep telling people that yellow ones are the fastest

Yup, it does. It'll do 80 - 140 before you can say "Holy ****". I'm working on a compilation video, hopefully I'll have it posted tonight.

Not my car. It's a customers. But yes, it is nasty. It is a race car built for the street. It's a C5-R race block. You should see the looks we get in it with the exhaust dumps open.

That is insane for the street. Hell, I can't plant the 400fwhp my C6 has without spinning the wheels all over the place. How the hell to you get that power to the pavement without completely atomizing the tires?

You don't.

It'll spin through all the gears if you've got too heavy of a foot.

When the 1265/1103 dyno pass was made the rear right tire blew out.
