FWIW Hitech in ramsey suppoedly built the car (dunno if the one at car craft and this one are the same) The one at car carft had a hidious "Hightech motorsports" banner on the windshild.
I too saw it at Car carft and thought the owner was from Chicago, low mount twin turbos, that the air intake comes up under the fake "lid"..... I did see it put down a little over 1K to the wheels on the dyno.....
Kick *** and really stock appering on the outside.

The car was built here at HiTech this past spring. It came to us with alot of problems that we redesigned solutions for. For instance, it had T3/62 turbos on it that choked the engine pretty good and mild steel manifolds that looked hideous. We custom made new headers from 304 stainless and installed T4/67 turbos to support up to 1500 HP, as well as redesigning the exhaust back to the stock SLP system in the rear and upgrading the QTP cutouts to 3" models. The stock cast flywheel was replaced with a billet steel unit, the custom SPEC single disc clutch was left in place. The inlet system was completely redesigned from the air filters (didn't have any when it came in) to the TB. As you can see, it's meant to be a low profile turbo system. The engine was rebuilt but the old cam, heads & intake were left alone. It would make more power with improvements to these components, but it needed the intake for 'collectibility'. Other upgrades include the suspension, fuel system, driveshaft and electronics, among others. BTW, the 1010 rwhp run was the second run at that time. The first run was aborted by the dyno operator when the tach signal was lost during the run. He got out of it about 5700 RPM where it was already making 998 rwhp and I would say that if he had stayed in it, it would have gone 1070-1100. Unfortunately, the induction and clutch were heat soaked before the second run killing some power as the motor 'blew through' the clutch on the 1010 pass.
