street legal 1963 Vette with 2300 hp
I recently photographed this ground up custom 63 vette with 2300 hp. The goal was to create the quickest street car running a 6 second quarter mile. The owner has put on 120 miles on the street. He intends to do about 1000 miles then take it to the track.
The car is on its way to the Good Guys show in Ohio and will be on display at the Moroso stand. No matter how you look at it, this is a sick vehicle. There are incredible amounts of engineering to make the car streetable. Hopefully I'm going to do some additional photographic/graphic work with the owner. cheers Ken

Well, I think the paint job's a bit dumb, but, that's why I don't own it... That and I'm not rich.

2 cup holders!
2300 hp and 2 cup holders!
Here are a couple shots of the rear and the 15 gallon chilled water tank. This feeds chilled water thru stainless tubing inside the frame, to the intercooler then back. Actually, the shot may be showing the gas tank. I believe the chilled tank is behind that. cheers ken

Just because it has blinkers and brake lights doesn't mean it's a street car. With tires and suspension like that, I can't even begin to imagine the handling. Very impressive drag car though. 6 seconds is freaking scary insane.
PS: 1994 called. It wants its paintjob back. :P
