what's he got in it? some crazy **** I bet.

 

repost but still really cool

 

wow. no idea of the mod list on that car do you? looks like a all wheel drive system on that thing

 

Its not awd. Its a 2.1 ecotec with an auto tranny.

 

Auto tranny? What tranny?

 

I just found it browsing, and I did a quick search trying to see if it was posted previously and didn't come up with anything. Whatever is in it, it's a beast.

Much better than the 2 week old kitten i have in mine

 

a built 4t45 auto

 

Well I'll be damned

 

damn that thing is a beast

 

I'm pretty sure its a 4T65E.

 

i really have no idea how people don't know more about these cars. GM put so much time and money into all the build books to show what the cars were capable of and no one even looks at them

 

you are correct sir

 

X10 Some of the build books take you, step by step, part by part, beer break by beer break through the whole build with part numbers used and sources. All you need after that is some cubic bucks, ***** and desire. I've got one book from 2001 that builds a 757HP Ecotec using several of the parts found now, stock, in the LNF. It has a chart showing how much power could be made with each part, when they changed it (at what HP) and what they replaced it with as they built the engine. Extremely interesting.

 

This is from 2001. The present LNF has a forged crank, head to bearing cap thru bolts, stainless intakes, sodium filled exhausts, and the engine block/head is generally stronger than a 2001 NA engine. Looking at what they used then and what they achieved and comparing it to what we have now there's a lot of untapped power in the LNF. It just needs an intelligent, gentle, massage.

I hope you find this equally as interesting as I did.

 

SO what did that thing run??

 

even gm knew they fucked up... they went and put diamond pistons in their race car but left everything else the same.

 

it was a 2.0 ecotec turbo...with a race auto tranny

 

Still getting its ass cracked hard by hondas lol!!!!

dont think its seen the track this year. maybe im wrong

 

that video was old i think

 

lol. yea it is. noone gets hype over 8.96 second 1/4 mile times anymore. that completly normal now.

 

Just like the 1500 hp ecotec that runs 6's and is still fwd.

 

I just wish GM would have spent more money advertising this back in the day. Maybe it would be easy and cheap to build one nowadays.

 

Im talking about Outlaw class. like i said, 99% of the time theyre getting their asses cracked by the honda boys.

 

where can one pick up these said books. i might a build over the winter for something to do
