I watched a second one with a Camaro I believe as well, it wasn't finished...had no windshield. The guy hit the gas and the whole car shuddered, I think it's the wheel base on some of those 60's muscle cars. Those dual turbos would probably translate better to a Lamborghini, or anything else with a lower profile/wider base imo.

This the video you're talking about?

I'm not so sure it's a shudder in the car as much as it's just that the camera man can't hold the camera still because all the Gs.

And they did do a "supercar" build.

This is the first video I ever saw of theirs.

I just love how he gets on it...and it just gets wild as hell...and then after he lets off he goes "that's half throttle."

Love it.

Dodge Viper- even if I got the car for free, insurance and speeding tickets would quickly make a poor man out of me plus I'd probably kill myself driving crazy, but it'd be fun anyhow.

I don't really have a dream car, but I'd love a car with a matte finish. Like these:

Holy cow, so many to choose from. My dream car to drive daily would be a Mercedes Benz S 400 hybrid. Dream sports car would be a 1970 mustang boss 302 with some suspension work or a 2013 Porsche 911 GT2 RS with a set of moton suspension coil overs and have it corner weighted.

A resto-mod '37 Lincoln Zephyr (the first one is simply restored, the second obviously had a ton of body work done):

That second one has a 4.5 liter Ferrari (456) V-12 under the hood. While I love late '60s-early '70s muscle (my buddies and I spend most of our time in high school working on salvaged first-gen Montes, third-gen Novas, and stuff like that [cheap and easy to **** with]), but there's something about the unique body styles of some of the '30s cars that just tickle me.

Currently I drive a modified 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT8. But I will be trading it in on the new 2013 Shelby Cobra that I recently ordered. 600 plus horsepower on the street will surely get me another couple tickets.
