    That car makes me proud to be an American. Though honestly what the ZR1 needs is not so much more horsepower as more whale penis leather interior. More HP makes up for a lot of that though. #specterwerkscorvettegtr

    When I first saw this head line from the corner of of my eye on Twitter, I thought it was about a wreck involving a Corvette and a Nissan GTR!

    By radically restyled you must have meant "Pep-Boys body kit". #specterwerkscorvettegtr

    @Ben Wojdyla: I read the guide and I read your post of "not a body kit, a new body built coachwork style. you can read more about it here:".

    New body or not it still looks like a Vette with a bodykit and in no way looks radically restyled. If it were radically restyled it wouldn't look much like a Vette.

    When you can't decide between the displacement on demand of your right foot and the boost on demand of your right foot, Lingenfelter is there.

    Or, if you're tired of all that Porsche/Nissan bullshit, Lingenfelter is there.

    Or if you just want a car with a funky name, Lingenfelter is there.

    We love you, Lingenfelter.

    Will you show us your lederhosen?

    I came across the Ultima GTR a few years back.

    The principles of construction have stuck in my head, so much so, that I have a secret wish to turn a few FWD turds into interesting monsters. #ultimagtr

    So wait? This thing is only $50k? Is that without powertrain? What's the catch? If not, it's time to start cashing in some investments. Oh wait, it's right hand drive...
