I'm sure it's fast, but I'd be REAL CAREFUL about making sudden turns with that baby

thats cool, but seems like a death trap and/or insurance nightmare. I think that thing is tuned not for the quarter mile, but the number if roll-overs it can do in a quater mile.

oh and he should have stayed in the Daimler-Chrysler parts bin and put a Viper engine in it.

The viper engine is undoubtedly more expensive, and is hands down less fuel efficient and reliable. By contrast LS1s are likely a lot easier on the wallet both in buying the engine and supplying it with fuel.

But I agree. Maybe this guy just did this to surprise a few people at stoplights or at a car show. This thing is a death trap with an engine like that in it. I'd say, waste of a great engine on the wrong car! :b

Very cool. Needs much wider tires (and not M&S rated) in the back.

A friend of mine in the neighborhood had a Jeep he could do wheel stands with. Pretty impressive. I think he used it to pull his ski boat and also took it on serious offroad trips.

i had a 2001 sahara wrangler and had no problems with handling.... i got it up to about 100mph for a few miles one day and it didn't have any stability problems.

This thing may do closer to 140mph, but..........

Buddy of mine put a Chevy big block in a CJ. Was real quick. Off-ramp ate it.
