Don't get me wrong, that is a whole lot of awesome....

but can you really call it the worlds fastest Ferarri if it's not all Ferarri? Isn't it just an extreme hotrod? You could technically call it the worlds fastest Chevy...

There have probably been Chevy powered cars that have gone faster.

Well considering he basically put 3 ferrari motors in that thing, my guess it shoudl be pretty fast. I can't believe he used a real GTO, that is a shame, if you are just going to cut it up. Im sure he needed the space to fit the big block, otherwise he could have used the more abundant 308 structure.

I agree, sad he used a real GTO to do it. Those things are rare and sweet as is.
