WOW! That car just twists. Sweet!
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -
So how much would it be to build an lsx like that? Maybe not quite that crazy but around there.

For the motor its cheap, maybe zac will chime in on this, but its pretty much what he had this spring. He had a better intake setup, but same engine, same cam, etc.
Engine-$500
Intake-450
Injectors-375
Cam-250
ARP hardware-about 500
springs/retainers/pushrods-550
HPTuners-525
Thats $3150, and im sure he got this stuff cheaper than that. Add on whatever you can get a turbo setup for, like mine, $575 for a BW S400 and enough pipe for a merge and Downpipe using the stock manifolds. Your still gonna be WAY below $5k
Also some of this you dont need until you start to push over 12psi. The stock springs and retainers will hold up to about 12psi, i was still using them. And you guys saw my car, that was a completely stock 6.0L with a cam and boost. You see i didnt have shit into it and it was fast as hell for being 3700+lbs. -
Yeah I was watching his build on ls1tech impressive! But you also have to add a tranny that will bolt up custom crossmember, driveshaft,coils,harness fabbed headers etc etc etc. It does add up when you add all the shit you forget about. Pretty sure in order to run the ls6 intakes you need to run all the ls1 acc. to clear for the t body opening.

I would also say that a honda would cost more to build and make that kinda power....
