Beastly performance mods. Absolutely love it! Can't say I like anything else about it though unfortunately. From the "kompressor" and "V" badge, considering both come from supercharged, not turbo, cars. As well as the Vette badge, to the overkill on the gauge pods in the interior and vents on the hood, however that UIM is gorgeous. But to each is own. Some people don't like my car just the same. Either way it's a monster in the power department and modded awesomely performance wise. For that matter it could look like a clown car and I'd still dig it.

Pacer I know from your words you do appreciate the car and are not trying to be a hater. But to clarify a few things. The badges are personal preferences, if you personally knew Sam, then the Kompressor would be obvious why it's on the car. I'm not at liberty to reveal more. The V denotes a higher level of performance. As far as the gauges each and everyone has a function, literally they all have separate functions needed to monitor specific aspects of the engine / tranny. None are for frivilous readings. This massive powerplant generated tremendous amounts of heat thus all the venting and extractors on the hood. One set of vents were done and it was determined the GT500 heat extractor would still be required to assist evacuating additional heat. The car now has some very respectable underhood temps when it is operating. The UIM is a work of art for sure. Hope to maybe run into you maybe this summer at Super Chevy in California. Be awesome to run into another club member out this way. Take care bro...

i agree with this. i personally would have ditched the SS wheels, tail lights, and what not, but at the end of the day its not my car. if sam likes it thats what really matters.

i hope this thing turns a serious time. any expectations? what have they done to keep it from unloading the suspension? whats it weigh in at?

the fastest documented(there was one that supposedly went 10.88) ss has gone 11.01, and is hoping to go in the 10s this season(ls4 turbod). im going to hope this car having a huge cube advantage can best those times.
