    Check this out...

    One of our top swapped L36 guys ran into this beast at IDD. Yeah, it looks like my car in the left lane, but it's not. Just a close relative...

    He even waited at the green and still walked all over him.

    I actually seen that car at Milan at a test in tune before (the one sabrewings posted). This was before i really got into the 3800 world and i walked over to the guys car to see what engine that guy had in it, never thinking it would be a 3800 since at the time i had no idea there was a real aftermarket for these cars or that they were capable of power like that. Seeing that car was actually what prompted me to do some investigating into the 3800 world.

    @Sabre, the car i posted and the one you posted are 2 different cars. Not sure if u realized that or not, your comment sounded like you may have. Just clarifying.

    Top Speed 260 mph
    His car's pretty bad butt, but I don't think any GP would ever be capable of 260 MPH.

    agreed the aero would slow it down (people fail to realize the vette has had the power for over 200 mph, but starts to fly at about 195)

    Car and driver tested the ZR1 to a max speed of 212MPH (I think) but it was definitely drag limited.

    Thats badass! Honestly, If I had the time and the fabrication skills i'd do the same thing! Although I'd do it on a coupe body, use a cowl hood, and of course a different color.

    I love the body style of the 97-03 GPs! IMO there still some of the best looking cars on the road today. Why not have a badass driveline under some good looking lines? (ie: GP)
