A 300+hp 5.0 in a sub 2,000lb car. I'll bet that thing is a rocket.

That was worth watching, props to Corbin the builder. I've got a real soft spot for vehicles that have a rough exterior and performance-enhanced, well-maintained mechanicals.

"Something about this car makes you want to be just a total dick."

I'd drive it.

A hippie John Lennon look-a-like kid made it, but it's got character.

I know a couple 17years olds that can't describe to me what a metric crescent wrench is but can explain how computer stuff works and online gaming.

It's difficult to make 400hp with a stock block 5.0 without forced induction. That set up with heads, cam, intake, exhaust and 24lb injectors will put down 350 at best, and more like 320 if he's using stock heads. Still quite good considering that he started with a 225hp base engine.
