Just stumbled along this on another site.

What do you Guys and Girlies think of this beauty then?!?

One of a kind custom, updated body kit, Black on Black, over $250,000 invested, pro built 522 Merlin engine, twin whipple super chargers, alum heads, 1200 horse power, all top of the line parts and polished, Richmond 6 speed transmission, upgraded performance suspension, custom made 19 in HRE wheels, heavy duty 4 wheel disc brakes etc, factory air conditioning, PW, custom made factory gauges with 250 mph speedometer, 4 in custom exhaust, 50 gallon custom made fuel cell, all professionally built, numerous hand fabricated parts. Only 100 miles since built. Recarro seats, flared body, works can not describe this car! Absolutely the best custom Corvette in existance. Show stopper and incredible performance and handling this car breaks traction at 100mph. More horsepower at idle than a new Vette or Viper at max perforamnce. This car will be sold at Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale auction in January) at no reserve!

I think you should!

May be an old topic but ive only just seen it. What a car!!! Looks like a batmobile/knight rider car.Sexy in a yank way if ya get what i mean.

Merlin is the name of the RR spitfire engine. My money is on that being a RR merlin. Although it may just be a codename that chevvy gave to one of their engines. Cos the spitfires merlin was quite a hefferlump. Not sure weather it'd fit so snuggly into an engine bay like that. It has been done before but you could see the engine in this other car as its so huge.You can see the 'chargers on this tho and they are very sexy.

The rr merlin engine has 1030 bhp at 2500 rmp as standard , but was tuned up to 2350 bhp ! ! . The rr engine weighs 1335lbp and is a v12 . Don't think that this has one do you
tell you what dudes, if you want to see how these things are built watch american hot rod on sky paramount, good program and it funny too, lots of work shop banter and sacking goin on, quality series lke.

lots of sacking??

I watch this sort of stuff at work and they are really class shows. Discovery real time is the way forward. Overhaulin' is real good! but then they act like typical dumb yanks some time and re-enforce the stereotype makng you feel sorry for them
