Default One of a kind...

Relative's GTO with a 6.2L Duramax and Allison transmission, 4WD. 722-980hp/1500-1900lb-ft. Complete custom build by himself, he's had the car since he was young and got bored with the torch and welder one day, and two years later, this emerges. The engine/trans and every single part is brand new. The build looks GM factory and there's over 12k in paint/prep alone. Special built axles and carriers to handle the torque, one-off wheels to fit the custom hubs/pattern. Updated interior from 06' GTO. Nasty:











My pics could likely be better, but I was a bit excited about the final product
Insured for over 500k. You may never see anything like this anywhere else folks. Ever .

Not sure I agree with you on that one.

Twice as much torque as HP? Does it redline at 3000 rpm?

Custom builds like these are lucky to bring .10 cent on the dollar. To insure it for $500,000 is fine, but it would be lucky to sell for more than 100k. Not trying to be offensive, just telling it like it is.

Is it not turboed? I ask because of the intake filter setup.

I'm admittedly ignorant about diesels but I'm skeptical about the power.
