In Larry Chen's latest masterpiece unveiled at SEMA, he has taken a humble 88 E30 325i and transformed it into a roaring beast that defies convention. This car, stripped down to its bare essentials and rebuilt with a full tube chassis, now boasts C6 Corvette suspension and a Texas Speed 427 LS engine that pushes the boundaries of performance. It's a wild creation, designed not for the daily commute but for pure adrenaline-pumping action on the track.
What sets this build apart is Chen's meticulous attention to detail and his relentless pursuit of perfection. The transparent front end design, featuring an lto kit and a unique exhaust setup, showcases his innovative approach to car modification. With plans to turn this machine into a competitive time attack race car, every aspect of the build has been carefully considered and executed with precision.
From the immaculate paint job to the tubular rear end design, every element of this build reflects Chen's evolution as a fabricator. The rear bash bar, wide tires, and custom suspension further emphasize the car's track-focused nature. With a vision to potentially add a hardtop in the future, Chen's creativity and craftsmanship shine through in this extraordinary project that pushes the boundaries of automotive engineering.
