Yeah, the stance is a little wonky but I can overlook that when considering the entire package. This car doesn't need a stereo. It makes it'ss own music. Excellent video, brother.
Ain't nothin' wrong with the look of that stance, if ya know why it's that way. Because the suspension set-up including that stance is perfect for wide-open throttle, whether it be a dig/launch off the line at the drag strip or coming off a turn & laying into it for a long high-speed straight-away, the Corvette squat is damned hard to beat.
I don't care what anyone says, absolutely nothing sounds as killer as a well-built, well-tuned, normally aspirated hi-hp V8. And they are proven to run so consistently strong. ........especially during a long run or race.
Only thing its missing is a racy idle. Way too smooth for me given what the car is trying to be. Great power level though...dont like the way most high dyno # cars drive
If i had the bucks up and drive it daily , yes i would have music in it. Not hard to turn it off if you are enjoying the engines music at that moment. Better to have it and not need it than needing it and not having it. Beautiful car and sound this one has.
I've never been much of a follower but I have to agree with you Shaun. I would also prefer changing the stance of the car to get rid of that squat in the back. In the original race footage at 1:38 min. of your video the Vette didn't have that squat going through the corners.
This car has a softer composite rear spring for road driving. It also helps the car really hook up. You can order whatever stiffness you want in the composite rear spring.
You can tell this is one of those cars thats dialed in all around to be perfectly balanced as a car, and it's an absolute joy to drive regardless of what kind of drive you want to have at that moment. Edit: Something about leather strap(s) and a buckle instead of hood pins or other components elsewhere just adds a lot for me. It feels hand made with care when there's details like that.
It wouldn't be SUPERFORMANCE car without a small pedal box!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣At least this one looks a little bit bigger than the tiny Cobra! I don't think I'd ever build another Cobra, but I'd build one of these! And I'm Ford guy!
🤣🤣🤣🤣Your face says it all!!!! It would be perfect to take some shots with that year on a circuit, I think that there its qualities could be shown more, greetings!
I would love to see a REAL Grand Sport replica with a period correct engine package, since the LS platform wasn't even thought of yet. The engines don't sound the same because the firing orders and engine architecture are different. If this builder is truly talented, build a period correct engine and listen to the difference. Because a 377 cubic inch Small Block Chevy sounds WAY BETTER than a fuel injected LS.
I see the newest Ruffian Mustang in the Superformance 'showroom'. For sale? I also saw a Superformance Corvette in the Ruffian shop. Special Ruffian Superformance Corvette coming?
Lowered a bit...can look good and function if done right Like you said lowered a bunch just to look cool parked, no thanks .I like to drive em and not worry about running over a pebble
Even regular production Corvettes were 4 wheel disc, standard, by 1965. You could get a '65 with drums, but it was only with a delete option for discs, and then only while the factory had the drum set ups on hand.
In 1963 they all got lapped by a 63 Tempest on a road course... along with all the other cars in the race, including the mystery motor Corvettes.. Cool cars nonetheless. Mercedes Benz bought the Tempest after the race, shipped it to Germany, and it was never seen again. Fun fact, the Tempest 61-63 had the same set up as the C5 to C7 with the transmission in the back between the rear wheels, and the engine up front.

That’s a gorgeous car. 500 to the tire in a car that will carve canyons the way that one will is way more than enough. People don’t realize how fast the old 2 liter European cars were on a curvy road or a tight road course.
best of both worlds with this kit car ,you can go on the road and rip it up and slap on a set of all terrain tyres and go off road ,plenty ground clearance
Not on a perfect road !?…. Just joking around with ya’s . Damn I dream of a road like the ones you have out West. I live in Rhode Island, roads out here SUKKKK. We learn right away how to do the “Pothole Shuffle” it’s an art form
The C2 corvette and the Shelby Cobra 427 competition model are by far the best cars to come out of America. Well… And the Ford GT of course but I’m not a Ford guy so… Lmao but still can’t deny the Ford GT probs deserved for it.
You should do (and start including) a episode of all the street interactions of normal people in traffic geeking/commenting on you guys while making these video's.
Damn, Shawn - been waching your stuff for a long time, and I gotta say from one Car Guy to another - You, Sir...are as cool as the other side of the pillow.
I really don’t like while on the power the front end lifts up like a gasser street rod with kills the body lines and the dynamic of the front of the car drag strip car. You might want the front to live and put more weight on the back wheels. But a street rod no that front lift looks terrible…😳
Why are you showing this car on the street why don't you show us this car on a racetrack like Laguna seca or somewhere that has some corners so that you can show us your skills. 🤔
i work right near them....and never stop to hassle dudes i see in side piped stingrays....or cobras....if theyre going to superformance XD or if their build was done there. ALL i know is if they say yes....these dudes work hard or EARN hard...and are no joke if theyre getting work done by them. Kinda ppl to pick the brains of and pick up some GAME on...if you ever want something this spectacular. 408 stroker LS....but not 8:47...overly stroked XD see i was wondering these things myself once i heard 408...or how high it revs or where the 400+ comes into the powerband....but now that i know its not over stroked....im more interested in how DEEP the torque curve is and the figures on that end given the cars weight/tune. W.O crucial exits or epic straights....idk if the "uber" power figure range aspects even come into play vs how STREETABLE that near 500 HP is and how EPIC the torque curve appears to be as well. Thing looks like an absolute dream to own/drive as a street car and equally as a track focused endeavor. Or a car you could drive to the track with a "posse/team" to dial things in and bring extra sets of rubber. Id love to see this in the laguna seca classic run if it happened or happens to make a go of things there.
Beatifull head lights dan! That última its the most beatifull a has ever seen... Also with the most apropiate engine for sure... Good luck whith that gearbox! Congrats for the project... Ill miss it when it ends!

Hi I was wondering why do you like this car better than the other transports that you drove with the LS3 , the mercury 7 liter and the Lt4? also was there any change in the steering feel with this car or anything else that made it stand out to you....thank you!
Cool car. Seems like the rear has a lot of squat under acceleration, lightens the front. Not sure if this is best for road course (racing). I could be wrong.....
Love all your stuff and showcasing these amazing, functional pieces of art and horsepower. That rear suspension and rearend is wild…is that period correct for that whole rear end setup?
I saw one of these in sunny Scottsdale Arizona, going down the road, it was during the time Barrett Jackson was having their auction. It was pretty cool.
If they got rid of the holes in the back and gave it pop up headlights that thing would be pretty friggin awesome. EDIT: I see what they did it now, for the history. Ok, I get it.
They did an amazing job building that car. Classic vintage, with just the right modern tricks to make that car an everyday/track driver. I would never want to stop driving that car. I could get in, gas it up, have a pocket full of cash and being that I live in Los Angeles, I could jump on either the beginning of the 10 Freeway in Santa Monica and drive to Florida, or at that same spot Pacific Coast Highway also is where the 10 starts its Eastbound run but PCH goes either North or South along the California coast and I'd end up in Baja California, Mexico, in about 2½ hours or the other direction I'd end up at the Oregon State line in about 14 hours. I'd be happy either way.

Those were the days.
Yep, the politicians have been destroying everything and letting the people who have no class and no respect for themselves or anyone else go unpunished for trashing everything and all the crime. I was no angel and still not but being someone who breaks some laws to make some money by selling weed and other things isn't the same as robbing people and businesses, carjacking, turning your neighborhood into war zones with burnt up cars and garbage all over.
