This is the car everybody wants parked in their driveway, the car everybody wants to race on the weekend.
Of course, nobody wants the stock car, even though GM did a good job. And Late Model Racecraft has already started work on their custom Corvette
The car you see dynoed here has just received CNC stock LT1 head and new, sportier cams. The result is an output of 470 rear wheel horsepower. That's about a 50 hp and 25 lb-ft improvement on the stock figures. Remember, that rear-wheel horsepower is different to horsepower at the crank, which is what official figures use.
Some people would say 470 hp is enough, but not LMR, who seem to want at least 700 hp.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
