This thing is beyond sick. Some dumb moves from some of the video makers but check out the car.

Ahhhh........YES!!! Twin turbo LS1 grocery getter.
Listen to the end with the bloopers, hilarious @ 10:20 to the end.

Now that is the spirit of Hot Rodding IMO.
Take something that was not fast, and turn it into a ridiculously badass vehicle.

Sending that to my buddy who sold his Porsche and is on his 3rd kid in 3 years.

The scene where the kid on the bike is filming and you can see his speedo at 183 and the car is still pulling away is insane.

that is insane!!! He has to be doing over 200 mph. i have been contimplating an LS1 for my 84 caprice, think this will make me a little more motivated. He really need a roll cage though.

This thing is crazy. You can get to the kids soccer game or get the groceries home in a hurry in this thing. Talk about a sleeper unless you see the exhaust in the rear.

That is very cool. I thought my wagon was fast but I would get spanked by that!

Biker was at a disadvantage because he couldn't tuck in with the camera mounted to the tank.
That's dangerous at those speeds because he could get pulled off the bike like a parachute in the wind.

I've been 196 on my Busa, and the wind that hits you is insane.
My helmet was bouncing off the tank even tucked in all the way.....need a bigger windscreen.
