It's a really nice vette and I already have some vids of it :bananna2:

I got them from that guys homepage over an year ago. The site unfortunately went down last year and I don't have the address anymore...

Can't wait to see a new video of it (I hope you are pushing it a little)

I have never been into that body style vette......but this one definetly changed my mind ! :hail: :hail:

it's like the updated version of "corvette summer" :woot: :woot:

[pjtimmer]

Any has that page link?

Eh what was he thinking when he did the rear tir/wheel combo? Those tires are too narrow for the wheel.

wow that is crazy!! First twin turbo now twin superchargers! Just amazing what everyone can do! :seizure: Thanks for sharing Scott. You really seem to know and see EVERYTHING that is out there. :secret:

I did a little searching and found that his name is Steve Kamis and the car is called "Project Insane Asylum".

I don't know when Andrew Distad bought it though or do I have everything wrong and he is the original owner... :dunno:

This was the site he had but its not working anymore.

Christer, that's correct. It's my understanding that Kamis's business fell on hard times and he had to sell the Vette. Andy picked it up sometime this summer and will be selling it at the BJ auction.

After I found out this car was local, I figured I should check it out in person and take some pics. Eye candy is always good. lol I took some video of it in the driveway, but we couldn't take it out on the road (yet!) because there is a minor issue with the alternator bracket. Once Andy replaces it, we'll be taking it out for some high speed fun.

[elcamino80]

high speed fun sounds great :seizure:

edit: Here's a short video of the first startups

[XcYZ]

Sorry, the weather went to hell around here before we could take it out for a good test drive.
