Default mabey not easy:solved:Minacious- Specter Werkes

there is the easy part of this one, but that would be too easy...
i will accept no less then the make of this car, but specific model would be good too. Jay Leno owns one

and Minacious has it!
its a Specter Werkes GTR, which is the most balanced approach of rebuilding a Corvette
Long known for our expertise in the field of Corvettes, Specter Werkes continues to push the envelope of Corvette styling and performance. Combining world-class styling with winning race performance, Specter Werkes is widely acknowledge as an industry leader.

Start with the Specter Werkes GTR. Developed in 1998, the GTR left C5 owners breathless. Once again, merging race inspired performance and knowledge, Specter Werkes put the C5 on steroids. Building on the C5's existing good looks, Specter Werkes designers massaged the C5 silhouette into a hefty 77" wide car. Adding a full six inches to the rear width and three to the front allowed for an aggressive "coke bottle" shape through the middle. With integrated ground-effects rockers, a molded in rear spoiler, hi-rise hood and C5R inspired headlights, the GTR immediately grabbed the attention of major publications and Corvette enthusiasts alike.
BODY

Race inspired design that produces downforce without too much drag that glues you to the road.
GTR specific bodywork made from hand-laid fiberglass using high temperature dimensionally stable resin.
Complete GTR body weighs 76 pounds (same as stock).
All GTR's are painted using PPG Global products.
Each GTR is meticulously hand-crafted for perfect fit and finish.
Specter Werkes Power Dome hood.
Specter Werkes exposed headlamp modules.
GTR seat embroidery and appointments.
Registry dash plaque
Stone chip protection package.
CHASSIS
The GTR is equipped with Hotchkis performance anti roll bars with increased wall thickness to eliminate body roll. Spherical rod ends and urethane bushings mount the bars to the chassis.
Special rear shock modification for optimum handling.
Front-end alignment is optimized for superior steering response.
All GTR's start with the Z-51 option.
Your choice of wheels from Fikse or HRE polished or anodized to your specification.
285/35 18 front and 345/30 19 rear Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
as far as the engine; options are abundant from 420 hp-600 hp

this particular example was running 510 w/out the supercharger with the pop-up headlights left in place.
