The tires might have been spinning at a rate of 55 mph, but the whole car wasnt going, it just freaked the computer and thats what the dash read, when he stopped spinning that was how fast the car was going, he had not gone over that speed, do you see what Im saying? Oh and correct me if Im wrong, didnt PhatSVT's contour go 0-115 in 15 seconds?

i see what you're saying....something does flying by really fast towards the end....but it just doesn't seem legit...
i don't know...no tach working, doesn't even sound like its being pushed....camera is pretty steady.....
i don't know...call me crazy...but i think that was rigged somehow.

first of all the photo is a fake. The strut bar in the 1st pic is there, then in the second it is missing. Second, of all the car took 8sec to reach 100km. Third, the if the car is an auto, the stock transmisson won't be able to handle that kind of power or torque, and if it is a manual, where did he get the manual to support the 3.8 except from the camaro?

The pics do look fishy but I've heard of the car before. It's a concept that GM is working on for 03 or 04. Totally redesigned drive train. S/C 3800, 5 spd, AWD, suposedly it is so GM can try and get more involved with rally and auto X. I'll see if I can find more info.

The picture is not fake! Yes it's in km/h. He's Canadian. I'll try and dig up the website. He has step by step photos of the install. (It was done a while go) Even if it was bone stock That's 240HP/280TQ in a 2700lb car (2600 + 100 for larger engine) I'm sure you can all do that math! ATX or not it's fast! (if stock GTP is 14.9-15.0 and weighs 3400lbs!!!) BTW - I timed it (video) 3 times. ~6.5 0-60mph (with wheelspin to boot) ~14 0-100mph (New Mustang GT is 14 @ 100 in the 1/4) I wouldn't want to race it... Okay I would...

Wrong. If you look at the second pic, you can see part of the strut bar on the right, just before it goes into the shadow. Also, you don't know that the automatic trans didn't come with the engine. Maybe he just fabbed a new engine cradle to hold everything. warmonger

So he spent $5300 for this project and still has rear drums?
Could have done a turbo on his 4 banger for less money, less time, less weight, and gotten the same power (well a little less torque). Unless of course the motor wouldn't take the boost.
Well, I give him credit for commitment and the unique factor. :p
