Jay Leno's 1000hp Tornado!

[bigmack]

Did any of you guys see Jay Leno's 1000hp Tornado?!?!?
Man that thing was sick! Its a Tornado with a C5 chassis and a special twin turbo LS7 crate motor GM sent to him. Here's a photo and thread of it www.cavcars.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3910

Yup, saw that on one of the car-mag shows on Speed...and in a previous publication. Sick, but sweet! Just shows what can be done with unlimited funds. Care to guestimate how much $$$ he's got in that car? I have no idea...

I am keeping my eyes open for information regarding the availability of LS7 crate engines, though. My kit will be showing up sometime in late June or early July, so they may be hitting the streets just about the time I am ready for an engine.

That looks like it handles well

I don't think I'd want to drive that with 300bhp never mind 1000

As if he'll ever drive it. Leno has three aircraft hangars full of cars!

You wouldn't think so, but he actually does. He drives something different every day...and has a couple of mechanics to keep them in running order. Must be a tough choice in the morning, ay?
