Last I heard is he sold that car. I think zzp in MI bought it. They build turbo set ups for the 3800 also. That's who helped with my turbo gp build! There's also a few 8 sec turbo gp's out there.

Love the idea of a turbo 6 in the 8's. Would've been a better vid without Kanye blasting in the background.

This car has been running 8's for a couple years I believe. Twin gt35 turbos or something like that on it. These guys build some nice turbo 3800 II motors. WHen I had my v6 camaro I was looking at them before I sold it.
