faster car i've ever been in. period.
my car in my drive way ( CLICK HERE)
corvette from centerforce cutches.
850 HP . . . pushrod V8 with the help of a lingenfelter supercharger and full carbon fiber body kit. i would have to say that was the f'n fastest car i've ever been in. period. peter (my neighbor) said that this is one of his customers' cars (they traded cars for the week). he toook me around the block and a couple of exits on the freeway. he told me that he couldn't launch the car in first gear because all he would do is roast the tires. seriously, when he took off . . . i couldn't take my head off the headrest. good God that was rediculous.

i'll see if i get you guys some engine pics. but i don't want you guys to hold your breath, because it's not his private car. his cars are: (1) lambo diablo and (2) merc cl55. i swear. the most awkward part is that he lives in the most middle of middle class neighborhoods. all you see is (toyota) camry, camry, camry, diablo, camry, camry, camry. very surreal.  i'll get those pics too when they finish reconstructing his house.
that guys is really nice guys BTW.

I like the looks of the car except the paint on the hood and I'm sure that most of the body work is Aerodynamicly designed like the way the rear goes out past the car like you see on alot of race cars and it has diffusers on the bottom which could be functional but I prefer the 4 oval pipes for the Corvette exhaust.

Pretty badass car...but those looks, not really to my liking, and the wheels...umm...chrome wheels shouldn't be anywhere near a nice car IMO. Still, nice pics, and I bet that shit was fast.

The car looks reasonably good to me, the paint scheme doesn't even bother me...the one thing that REALLY looks bad to me is the multiple strakes coming out of the extractors just aft of the rear wheels...they're hideous!!! They look like an afterthought and the ones on the left side aren't even straight!!

it grows on you after you see it a bunch of times in person. that hood is functional though, the supercharger located on top of the engine and the bulge accomodated the extra height. the inside is pretty tickytacky plastic and some CF pieces. no matter what you think of the outside, the rumbling engine that you can hear about a block away on idle gives me the heebejeebes.
"hauling ass" is an understatement . . . i guess the closest i can describe is about 2 - 3x the sensation of taking off in an airplane.

I think that looks fuckin SWEET! Love it, but it could do with lowering at the front another 10mm, looks uneven front to back.
