Guy sold it on Ebay a while back and I crapped all over myself. Said he put $250,000 into it, ended up selling for $70,000. Sad thing was he sold it cuz he was too fat to drive it, he never even got to take it on the road. I have a vid if anyone can host it...The scary thing is how it sounds....runs through single chamber Flows....

Don't know where in the hell you got that information about being too fat. He's far from it. He's driving it in the videos I have of it. He posts over at corvetteforum and his posting name is Merlin.

That might be the new owner. The car is on owner 2 or 3. The guy that built it was pretty big, I have a pic of him in the car, and it isnt a good fit. If I could find the original EBay page I would show you

I remember saving some of the pics from the auction, the Whipple Quad-Rotor is the blower he has on that beast.

I think I'd start working out a bit before I took a $180,000 hit. I've never looked into stomach stapling surgery or anything else... but wouldnt that be at least a little under 180k?

That is a cool 'vette. However, if you want to see a even more complicated piece of engineering feat, check out Rick Dobberton's twice blown twin turbo and nitroused J-2000 or his Nova. Am I the only one old enough to remember these?

That vette is mean, but whoever owns it needs to take the mullet-master bodykit down a coupla pegs... It doesn't go too well with those HRE's. Like putting a silk hat on a pig.
