JohnReed Report post Posted June 18, 2009 wow, for some reason i thought you actually built the engine when you posted the pics. I should have known better. Not really sure how what order things happen matter, not like UGR is on here bragging about some huge hp stock engine Murci (not that I saw anyway). Sometimes the schedules shops work with are not their own (custom parts development, customer needs, etc). I know the owner was excited to have it in Florida to show, and doing a proper engine build in the time frame available was just not an option. The turbo kit shown was the fully functional finished product which also allowed a bit of stock engine testing in addition to attending the show. Now the engine is being built to suit the goals of the customer and exceed his expectations. I think everyone is excited to see what it will do, but the owners goals/wishes for the Murci are different from the Nera so don't expect a 1500+ hp monster. Either way, I am impressed with what I have seen of the build thus far, very high quality. Maybe Kevin can post some pics of the engine and stuff as it goes together, pretty cool looking stuff!

LOL The ZR1 is an awesome machine. The suspension got revised, the ride is much better, the car is very fast, and it makes a GREAT DD. The dislikes are the usual. Lousy interior, looks will not win any awards, "C H E V R O L E T" badge, not so stable at high speeds, and some other things. Would I still drive it? Oh yes. For 120K? Not so much.
