Alright all you people that think you know it all. Pop quiz time here on the Jet.

With the Ford Mustang V10 appearing in this month's issue of MotorTrend making Chevy look like a little girl in fluffy pink panties ....

Can anyone name the car that Chevy last tried anything strange, albeit killer in execution, like the V10 Mustang?

Year ??
Car ??
Engine ??
Nickname ??

The winner gets a stale Girl Scout cookie.

Well go here http://www.motortrend.com/multimedia/mtvideo/ and watch the video of the twin turbo Lingenfelter Corvette. 427 engine at 1000 h.p. at the rear wheels running a 9.18 151 mph quarter mile.

That wasn't done 'in-house' by GM employees. A beast, but not the one I am looking for.

Wasn't it that fuel-injected big-block 98ish Camaro?

I knew this one would pop up. Still not it, but you are on the right track.

 

[MUTTLEE]

Maybe that was it. Because I remember the cover on a magazine showing it doing a burnout right next to some kinda Cobra.

 

[P.]

that cobra had a boss 429 in it and a auto trans, orange with "boss" graphics... the camaro was a 97ish with the 98 and up front clip on it, a 5 speed stick and a donovan racing motor.... that was in a car and driver issue... i have it just can't find it...

How about the Tim Allen Cadillac DTSi moddified by Jon Moss. Or the Tim Allen CHEVROLET LT5 IMPALA SS also built by Moss and his Skunkworks henchmen.

You are the closest yet, but it was a Chevy.

Edited my post, see above. it must be the Impala SS.

There was two engines in this car that you are talking about. The Donovan was the second one. It was put in when they did the facelift to the 98 body. The first was the 572 BBC running twin TPI manifolds.

Chevy ZL-1

Again, not the feature car of this quiz, but a badass car anyways.

this?

 

[BLOWNSTANG]

Didn't Chevy do a small-block 99-00 rwd Impala?

I think THAT was it

 

[P.]

impala sounds right, how about the SS510 they made?

 

[Wallflower]

You guys are getting the 'Who dun-it' part right, it is a Moss car.

I'll give you three clues ....

1. red
2. a bird
3. late night talk show

Was it a Vette? If it is, then I'm out.

I've never cared for Vette's. I've always liked the Camaro's.

Looking for the year, the engine, and the nickname.
