BAD!!!! My wife wanted to know if it came with a baby seat and a helmet for the new baby.

Did you notice he said the A/C compressor was removed? He also said he used this all over S. Florida.

I’ll bet the interior of that vette smells like whodonit ???

Hi Guy's

Bit of a daydreaming car. Couple of observations if he can get 1,500 horsepower from a naturally aspirated small block I think that is an outstanding result. Wonder what that works out to when he's awake. If he paid $5,000 per wheel for those rims he needs to become a better shopper - they wouldn't cost $5,000 for the full set. Nice enough car but what a waste of money.

Looks like another Ebay special to me.

Ya know there is no way you could safely drive that on the street, at least not without traction control. Back in the day when put a Vic Hubbard Pro Stock 327 in a chevy 2. Maybe 650 hp, the thing was violent to drive on street tires. It would smoke-em any time in any gear. Sure was fun though.

 

[izitbrokeyet?]

You're right Gary,

I never saw the claim on the HP.......I was going to say I used to run a ‘69 Camaro that made 563 on the dyno at 3000 rpm with a normally aspirated motor. Only prob was 105 octane was getting pretty expensive since lower would pre-det. I may be driving impaired (I’m not), but that mutha was a challenge to drive. It was street legal, but near impossible to drive with a rear-end spool on a morning that left some dew on the street. (bump…. Bump…… spin…weeeeeeee)

Just cruising around, I had to keep the hood opened 2” to keep it cool enough to keep from vapor-locking.

I’m seriously doubting the ability to make the kind of horsies he’s claiming here even with a really great computer.

who knows if it's for real? the guy is obviously into sales. anyhow, if i dropped $100,000+ on a rat motor, it better **** wipe my butt too. ;D

Re:Wish it were mine! not!!

Question#1:Why would anyone build up a 1996 model car, and spend that kind of money, in 2001?

#2 I used to co-own a A/A Funny Car in the late 70's. 1500 HP is not easy to make even with a blown, alcohol fueled big block. I think I'd be betting some good size money on the truth of his horsepower claim.

#3 Vetts Suck at handling high horespower.weight transfer geometry is all wrong. Great road course cars. not much for SAW.

#4 A Classic 1970's 32' CrisCraft Stinger with twin 454's costs less, goes almost as fast and is a much better Chic magnet.

Hmmm....1500 HP, naturally aspirated 421? :

0 to 60 in under 2 seconds...180 1/4 mile speeds...no wheelie bars?

And the whole air conditioner thing makes me wonder. Why? Are all the lines dummys too? And the condenser, filter/drier? What's the point? It says at the top of the auction that AC is one of the options. ???

"Nobody ever wanted to go for a second ride"

Were they dissapointed?

I wonder if he has some 150 MPH RC tunnel hulls for sale?
