Usually you would save the motor description for later, but this dual V8 setup is pulpous-built to make a raucous first impression. With bright valve covers, shrouds, piping, and even a shining front rear wing, this is about making sure it will be noticed. Then again, let’s face it, everyone is already in awe of what it looks like to double-down on iconic American power. The body was borrowed from an Opel GT, but even that has been heavily modified. The rear has been turned into a truck bed whose cargo is the radiator and support equipment (this one even gets the car/pickup joke by calling it the “Opel-Mean-Oh.”) This flat deck provides the perfect place to mount the massive rear wing. Also, have you noticed the complete headlight and taillight package? Inside is a custom red, white, and black design that looks particularly handsome on the late C3 Corvette leather bucket seats. Β The undercarriage pictures tell a much more complete story. From there you can see an investment in a custom tubular chassis that can handle the power and torque created by this 16-cylinder monster. And yes, this is a true beast. After all, plenty of us love the power and sound that this iconic LT1 gave us in cars like the C4 Corvette and Trans Am…now add 100% more! It mates to GM’s stout 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission (yes, this one has overdrive) and sends power to a Ford 9-inch rear. The custom creation also gets the suspension details right, too. There’s a double tubular A-arm independent front suspension, and the rear has a coilover setup with air shocks to dial in the ride height. Control is also well in hand with disc brakes up front and massive 295/50R15 BF Goodrich rubber in the rear.
