    After buying a ragged out Corvette C6 ZR1 with over 100,000 miles, I decided to build it to 1000hp! A new LS9 engine, Kong 2650 supercharger, and MUCH more, we did everything possible to make 4 digit horsepower!
    Then I decided 1000hp wasn't enough... back to the drawing board for this c6 ZR1!

    Don’t sell the C6 Zr1 it’s the best corvette ever made of all time it’s unique, cool, and fun to drive. In my opinion it should be a lifer and it’s my favorite car you have and the most fun content too

      You’re speaking the language of a good man. Zr1 - The absolute end all be all of the corvette, I love the zr1, c6 are so good looking. I don’t think there’s any chance I will ever be able to afford a zr1, but I hope to have the ability to at least own a c6 z06. It would suffice.

    Love the Corvette! Absolutely loved watching the build to finally see it on the track!
    Wouldnt mind seeing a couple more videos on the track with it before you sell it and start something else!
    Either way I'll be right here waiting and looking forward to whatever you build next man!

    Streetspeed 717 did the same thing with his 1000 hp LMR modified 2011 ZR 1 when he did a run, the belt broke and cut up his coolant hose too.

    Love this channel!!! I’ve been watching this build for a while. I think I missed the part where you got the hood window glued back in. I needed to fix mine and for some reason no one where I live knows that to use to get it to stick.
    I’ve tried 3M windshield adhesive and it doesn’t hold up on carbon fiber. If you have any advice on that I would greatly appreciate it.
