Default Another 800+bhp Z06 hits the road...

...just in case the "import Supra crowd" think they have exclusive on "stupid hp" Turbo cars - yet another Twin Turbo Z06 is launched.

I am sure there are now more TT Z06's in Texas than Supra Turbos even sold in the USA... LOL

Gotta love it... McLaren F1 performance at SL55 pricing

427TT 21CMC v2.0 The Saga Continues....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away.....

Just kidding, check out the 95% finished product. All that is left is minor revisions and polishing up before I start slicing and dicing at the track! 730rwhp 910rwtq at the end of the day.

With the drivetrain loss and 3.90 gearing, that equates to around 825hp at the flywheel? Something like that, if not more. Let's see what part breaks first, shall we? See you guys soon!

RC, you are killing me here. All these videos and pics you've been putting up lately are making me miss my Vette more and more.

Very nice. Very nice indeed. Those 547's are looking good on there.

Nice car...not a big fan of the wheels, but who cares about that when you have 800+hp. Sweet RC45...so when does your kit come in?

Being that I am about a little short on the usual $150Grand it takes to build an all-out turbo car, I have my eye on a 396ci stroker setup... will save me about $140,000 dollars and get me to 500rwhp/440ftlb - which would only leave me 350hp and 500ftlb short of the TT cars... LOL

Sadly that car just doesn't impress or excite me anymore. I used to live next to the biggest chevy dealer in TX, and when you see Z06's being driven by old ladies it starts to bore you.
