I like the car . But I’m that guy that would cut up an all original car . GM did a good job making cars but they can all be improved.

he doesn’t have a shop. He’s a regular guy doing it in his spare time. The car is being tuned, and some details ironed out at a shop. I’ve talked with Enrique quite a few times and he’s a cool dude that wanted something different.
Ok, my bad. It just seemed like it was an attention seeker build to me. I totally get the concept, it's just simple.
 
There was a gen 3 turbo hemi fox body in the 8's at drag week this year.

Kinda bummed we don't see more gen 3 hemi swaps, especially considering as many 300's, chargers, and 1500 pickups have been sold and how bad they rust out.

I think the junkyard turbo LS has blinded the entire hot rod community. In an OEM application the Dodge Hemi is a monster NA but they are overlooked due the LS and Hellcat.
The port layout is better than an inline valve layout and there is not enough aftermarket support.

There is a Dodge Dart at my track. The owner is a Dodge mechanic and took a junked 5.7L and installed a single turbo. There is still potential for tuning at I saw run a soft launch 9 sec pass at over 140mph.

Totally, engines like the Atlas 4.2 inline 6, 5.6 Nissan v8, Coyote, Gen 3 hemi, ect are killer setups and just haven't caught on in the US and Canada.

Volumes on the LS are killer with truck, SUV, and car, where volumes can be Lower for junk yard donors for other platforms.

I love watching Australian builds because they do so many unique platforms.

If there was some way to control the ZF 8 speed or to find a 6.4 and TR6060 takeout, you'd have a monster on your hands.
