whats an F body. I dont know many engines that will pull 650 hp to the ground with minor mods unless you are talking about a Ferrari or Lamborghini V12 . Remember this is 650 hp TO THE WHEELS.

Agreed on the sleeper to 'most'. Very nice car, and I really do prefer the subtle looks. Even more interesting that he did this on the sedan.

Remember this is 650 hp TO THE WHEELS.
Note, that this number is on higher octane race fuel. He's going to be putting down less on pump gas, though these are still respectable numbers.

Also, it can be done for cheaper on a bigger displacement engine, but that's clearly not the point. It's certainly more unique than big power from an F body vehicle, in its own right.

Mad to the guy that setup his car with mad HP and clean look. Lots of time, money and efforts.

Whether its a Civic, G35 or Lexus, when you see crazy effort for a good job, you gotta give prop even if its not your personal favorite car. Just don't put down negative comments if it doesn't change the outcome. Or step up to the challenge and prove you can do better.

I opened up Modified magazine today and there is a full length feature on this car. Its an amazing machine, and the attention is well deserved IMO.

If not, ugly and nose-heavy...fitting a V12 into the engine bay of the G35, and all that.
