Here is a video of the turbo van beating a ZR1 at the track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAa7Dsq15Oc

As far as the ls9 t-bird goes, I guess the owner has A LOT of money, doesn't know much about cars and just wrote a blank check so-to-speak to the shop. So hell, if I had an unlimited budget I'd try to stuff ls9's in all sorts of cars

no the ZR1 was trying he spun BAD on his OEM 20/20 tires the van goes 12's! go take a look at forced induction its been around for quite a while! Its a STOCK 5.3!

The Tbird was built by street and performance, with a pre crate motor Zr1 Engine and 6L80E or a 90 from a caddy, the owner had NO IDEA whata he had Def a blank check build, prob in the $70 Thousand area for the engine swap.

The 5th Gen with 24's has a fab 9 inch and ladder bars, fuel system, twin turbos, looks nice (adsept for the wheels) id like to see it run at the track, it reportedly made 1000hp at the wheels

the reason no one took a pic is because is was all in his head! In reality they were all next to a red '01 Bird

The first time I saw that video it didn't have the A-Team music. That is a very nice addition.
