It came out of Tennessee, and it has been resurrected from the dead. The only thing that still remains the same on the 'vette is the body. The back-half job was completely ripped out and redone correctly, along with all of the wiring, and the engine and drivetrain has been sold. The new twin turbo kit is in the process of being installed. It'll be awesome once it's finally completed!

We're going to give it a shot eventually. It will definitely be 4-second capable. We're going to ease in to it to give Jason some time to get used to the setup.

I've watched the vidoes of it going mid 5s, but I have no idea how someone could have daily driven it. The 4 link was installed over 1" off from one side to the other, the shock locations were completely different from one side of the car to the other, the posi was junk, the wiring to the car was crazy bad, the 4 link was not completely welded into place, the car overheated when I tried to go around the block in it! I could pretty much tell you so many stories it's not funny.

We will be keeping the body, carpet, and one of the turbos though
