Nice vid and cars. I think another car to add to the list is the upcoming ford adrenaline. 390 hp/390tq all wheel drive. Cant forget about the new cobra either.

As far as I know adrenalin from ford is just a concept. Could be wrong though.

the problem with the Z06 will be the fact that i won't be able to put the power to the ground on the street. i am not interested in owning drag cars, just the sickest street cars. with all wheel drive, putting down 1000hp or so is still okay. but will rear wheel drive, i'll be all over the road. i estimate we can get 1200 rwhp out of the z06. but it is useless. so i may actually bag the z06 project.

I agree you should stick with awd cars for the apparent reasons.

Thats the why to build a street car street tires and full interior. Once u gutt interior it becomes a track car to me and what fun is that.Driving on the street is where most of the fun happens.

Any hack tuner can build a gutted drag car and make it goes fast in a straight line. Been there done that. But how many people can build something that will accel not only in straight line performance, but road racing as well and still is civil enough to drive everyday without jarring your teeth loose and making you deaf. My car still retains all the factory amenities such as a/c, power everything, etc. The best feeling is when you run into a BUSA, Viper, etc. and they give you the look of "What the hell just happened! Did I just get my a** handed to me by a 4 cylinder?"
