In this Larry Chen video, we delve into the creation of a remarkable drift car born from the ashes of a flood-damaged Corvette. Chen unveils the intricacies of the vehicle's design, including a bespoke exhaust system crafted in collaboration with Borla. The use of CAD data from GM adds a layer of precision to the project, showcasing the marriage of technology and automotive artistry.
The heart of this beast lies in its custom-built engine, a high-revving LS setup pushing the boundaries of naturally aspirated power. With a monstrous 462 cubic inches and the potential to hit 9,500 RPM, this engine is a testament to Chen's dedication to creating a truly unique driving experience. The Liberty Walk body kit adds a touch of Japanese flair to this American muscle, creating a visual spectacle that matches its performance prowess.
Despite its formidable design, questions loom over the car's eligibility for Formula Drift competition. Chen navigates the technicalities of the sport, highlighting the need for modifications to align with regulations. As he contemplates the future of his creation on the drift circuit, one thing remains certain – precision is key. With every detail meticulously crafted, this Corvette drift car stands as a testament to Chen's unwavering passion for automotive innovation and performance.
