I saw this and had visions of a horrible, hacked together POS. Wow, and I LOVE the Gulf livery.
"nearly stock" 460 with TWO blowers sitting on top. 
This guy, this guy right here? I like this guy.

Looks like he took the blowers off (see pic 1), but I bet you could probably buy those, too.

It really does look like a Challenge car, or at least probably started out as one... and got a bit out of hand. In a good way. 
I'd love to see a picture of the underside to see how they pulled off the transfer case and AWD.

Javelin, I think you need to go look at it/test drive
The only appropriate response is, "HOLY E36 M3! HOLY E36 M3!"

It makes me happy to know that this exists.
TWO CL finds vaguely near me in as many days?
(Granted, the other was a flooded 4runner, but still)
WTF is going on, this must be backlash for the rest of my life being E36 M3.
(Sorta, don't have the money for anything awesome for this)
I don't who he is, but I believe he's our messiah.
Love it, but how is it EMOD legal? I thought the engine had to be at the same end of the car as the original?

My thought, too.
Still, though. That thing is serious business. Looks well done.
