Even worse! It's a combo of two kits. Only an absolute moron would compare this hacksaw abortion to a factory made truck.

No it doesn't It reminds me of an angry squirrel with buck-teeth for some reason.

But yeah, it's just a kit, and an expensive one. Supposed to be supercharged I saw somewhere, but could be wrong.

Both engines are supercharged - you think they can get that kind of HP numbers out of them without FI? Lingenfelter is building the engines, so they will be good.

This is NOT a kit people. The offering is a GM Licensed vehicle developed by Lingenfelter, Fox Racing, and sold thru Southern Comfort vehicles. It's about as much a kit as a Shelby or Roush Mustang. The entire package carries a full GM warranty.
