Here is the non existent 1969 Corvette ZR1

Guy basically took what I assumed was a wrecked ZR1 and put every part he could onto his '69. Engine, hood window, wheels, ceramic brakes, suspension, mufflers, etc.
It said in the SS thread that he has been told about the thread and so far no replies by him. I would think he would at least address the comments about it.
Yeah just because of the massive amount of maintenance, You can never do just one part on that engine ever because its technically two V6s mounted together, so two timing belts, two mafs, two of every single part/sensor on the entire engine. And both at BMW double cost. So it basically makes everything 4x more expensive then it should be. And thats if you are doing the work yourself. Plus the double amount of labor. Would rather keep the 8 and supercharge it if I needed more power and would be faster, cheaper and more reliable then the 12.
