That is one of the best sounding V6 engines ever. Heck yeah he smoked the tires on the dyno - big time. Just watching that thing on the dyno gave me an adrenaline rush.
As for trying to drive it, that bad boy would be too much for me! It probably can go from 60-120 mph in about 3 seconds smoking the tires the whole way.
Seemed like the power kicked in strong and sudden. That might make it tough to stay in your own lane on the street when the turbos kick in!

That is the most insane thing I have seen in my life...it must take a major set of cojones to drive that beast. I hope everyone in that building had hearing protection...otherwise they would have some serious hearing damage. When those turbos really spooled up it sounded like a jet taking off.

I'm still beating off to that video....I cannot believe it smoked the dyno like that.....That car has to be over 1500hp.....looks like he has allot left when he let off. The whole front end started to come up when the turbos went off......Surprised it didn't take off and fly around the room....Jesus that thing was sweet.

Found a GNX that would do 10 sec quarters for 25k.
I really want one of those cars....last pure GM muscle car ever built in my book.
I want a stock one that I can redo over time.

I LOVE power, however at this time I am financially disabled so therefore don’t have enough disposable income for a Lightning. I wonder if any of the liberals feel my pain and will start a program for guys like me, I mean Algore wanted to put a computer in every house, wonder if there are any democrats out their yelling:
“A Lightning in every man’s garage”
