My son's work demo car had its first outing not long ago.

Motor Gen 3 Chev 5.7 litre, bog standard pistons crank etc. out of
a Holden Commodore.
Modifications twin turbos & exhaust system built and installed by my
son. Pipework completely fills the engine bay and is pretty to look
at. A real swear word creator if you had to work on it.

Result 830 HP at the wheels on a dyno

see it in action on

engine missing is caused by the rev limiter cutting ignition

the object is to go around corners sideways on.

second video was taken on a shopping centre rooftop car park.
