    That's awesome! Could you provide some more details? What kind of Corvette donated its guts? Is this from the same era, a 350 or a big block? LS1? LS7? What kind of transmission? Turbo400? I'm guessing probably not a manual. You take it down the dragstrip? Roll cage? Fuel cell?

    The peanut gallery needs details!! :D

    The first d-train was a 1968 327/375 HP vette motor with a 4 speed "munchy" now is a redone 454/500 hp from a 73 vette, turbo-400 hi perf shift kit 4000 rpm stall speed converter etc etc.I don't race anymore but it was an 11.5 second machine consistantly.

    Gah, I had forgotten about this thread!

    That is quite a beast, rubin! I wouldn't be able to keep it off the street, either. Mmmmm, 454. I like those numbers. :D
