Nice car but I have a question.
What is the purpose of putting a turbo on a car like this? Isn't 500whp a bit excessive for a FWD V8? I'm sure it's fine on the street and strip but can you track this car? I mean since it's FWD that's a lot of pulling. Not to mention the kit pricing.
Not hating at all. I'm just genuinely curious why?
Or is the answer simply 'why not?'

If you had a ride in a Turbo LS4 car, its a simple answer = gobs of power !!! The kit runs $5500 - $7500 depending on what upgrades you get with it. Mine was squirrely as a **** till I put the LSD in, but it's awesome to drive! Upside is there's a nice highway mileage bump. Also, a lot of people end up spending that much after they start modding to end up with less power... but I know the up front cost holds most back.

This is car is badassed! I love this set up! How much PSI you got on this beast!?
And to answer the question would be "why not?" LoL!!
There are plenty of high horsepowered FWD cars, even for the track....I learned that a while ago looking at Jay Leno's garage,....hehe!

pretty much why not ? haha in all honestly i pretty well paid the stock price for this car and got a turbo kit with it.and got to do small things to the car to make it my own. im only running 5psi, im deff not 500whp and traction is allright, best time on **** street tires was 13.3 not bad at all. is there better cars out there to hold that power... sure is ! id love to turbo a g8 or gto but i love my car.. most days anyway
