Quinn ConnerMay 17, 2012 Dang Mikey. Lol. Just watched the video. Car is equipped with centrifugal superchargers.
Carbuzz editor just doesn't know that they don't produce full hp until way late in the power band
Quinn ConnerMay 17, 2012 But then it wouldn't send that much power at a moments notice like explained
Mikey JimenezMay 16, 2012 It could be a centrifugal supercharger.
Phillip GreeneMay 16, 2012 Tecnicly turbos are called turbine superchargers so yeah
Ashy LarryMay 16, 2012 I thought this car was Twin Turbocharged? Hot Rod done an article, pretty sure it's a Nelson Racing Engines twin turbo motor.
Phillip GreeneMay 16, 2012 Hell yeah we more stuff like this on carbuz
Micah LauMay 16, 2012 It can do that with a twin supercharged LS2 engine.
Axel CousinsMay 16, 2012 Jeez!!!! That is amazing how it can do that.
Mikey JimenezMay 16, 2012 Super Sleeper haha good one.
Description: It's the epitome of a sleeper, ready to wipe out any car it comes in contact with. A well-concealed roll cage means that anyone coming up close to this car wouldn't for a second guess the &a...Add Comments25
Tom WilsonJun 06, 2012 Wish they would shut up and just drive the crap out of it
Nick SteigerMay 21, 2012 The definition of American Muscle
Mikey JimenezMay 17, 2012 With that extra money you can bore it and make more HP. Forged internals would also do the job and you still have a little cash left over.
Mikey JimenezMay 17, 2012 They were underrated so they made closer to 385HP and 400 ft/lb Torque.
Devin BabynMay 17, 2012 How do you get 30 HP when a LS1 puts outs 350 and a LS3 is 430? And that extra cash is buying some way better tech
Mikey JimenezMay 17, 2012 Try 30HP difference and about 6-7 grand cheaper.
Devin BabynMay 16, 2012 I just watched an entire show dedicated to how much better then LS3 is to the LS1. The improvements in the heads alone would make me buy the LS3. They also said it has 60 or 80 more HP so how's that about the same?
Mikey JimenezMay 16, 2012 Not really lol, you don't know much about the LS series do you? the LS1 is cheaper, it's lighter, and makes around the same power. Besides I didn't even bring up the LS1 so what's your point?
Devin BabynMay 16, 2012 Mikey I get the whole I'm in love with LS thing but why the LS1? If you're gonna do it, do it right and put in a LS3 They shit on LS1's so why wouldn't you rather have that. In guessing price but it can't be to steep
Doug TrueMay 16, 2012 I just saw this car twenty minutes ago at cruise nights in libertyville Illinois.
David GriegoMay 16, 2012 My uncle has the same year nova with a 327 that makes a decent 460 HP at the wheels. It's a beast, imagine this thing with over twice that amount! Insane!!
Mikey JimenezMay 16, 2012 Yes, tears are coming down my face. If you don't like my posts then why even bother commenting about them? Good to know that I'm famous on here. I say put an LS1 on cars that have good suspensions and chassis but don't have the HP and TQ
rahpMay 16, 2012 hey guys pull your panties out ... I know an ls2 is an ls motor hence the ls identifier ... I was refering to the fact that every other post by you is put an ls1 in everything with wheels. I wasn't really surprised. sorry I made you cry.
Mikey JimenezMay 16, 2012 @rahp you should read dumba**.
Clint EdwardsMay 16, 2012 That thing is freakin awesome. I like these cars, they're built for car guys, not some millionaire collector
Lou GuerreroMay 16, 2012 Must be nice to know you can own anything at a stop light. Beast indeed.
Micah LauMay 16, 2012 Hats off to Dru, because he built a Super Sweet (SS) Nova right there.
Vince DeMasiMay 16, 2012 Wow that thing was badass
Patrick SchalkMay 16, 2012 Yeah boi. That Nova is saweet.
Dillon DixonMay 16, 2012 Gotta love all the play in the steering. Cars like this are the very reason why I am such a huge muscle car person. I would take this over so many supercars. I love this so much.
rahpMay 16, 2012 WHAT??? Mickey doesn't want to put a ls1 in it??? lol. this thing is awesome. I would still have to put in some harnesses .... can't do the no seat belt thing.
Mikey JimenezMay 16, 2012 This is how a real car should sound!
Jake TrumbullMay 17, 2012 This car is pure testosterone-forced fed fun. Nothin better than a beastly sleeper
Harpreet AhluwaliaMay 17, 2012 I'm going to build a sleeper with two sets of exhaust pipes and a butterfly valve, one way way sleeper mode and the other being a straight pipe
Clint EdwardsMay 16, 2012 @Henz if you have to ask, you wouldn't understand
James Patrick DelaneyMay 16, 2012 I love sleepers, I think this thing would have to be parked to be unassuming. If its running I doubt a lot of cars would pull up to that rumble at a red light.
wfdownsMay 16, 2012 cause when u can own alot of things on the street its funny, when they call ur car junk and then there face when u own them is priceless
Henz HerreroMay 16, 2012 Whats the point of a sleeper.. If he restored it a lil bit, thn the car wud look and run amazingly.
Patrick SchalkMay 16, 2012 I'd race this mofo just to see how bad he beats me haha.
Micah LauMay 16, 2012 Yeah, read tires and traction bars are a giveaway - also its stance. I wouldn't race this thing with my 1992 Nissan KingKab 2WD.
Dillon DixonMay 16, 2012 That looks like so much fun. What a car!
quadrophineMay 16, 2012 I'm still partial to the 66 67 chevelles. but I'd still rock a this 72 nova
Zach HillMay 16, 2012 I would have this over anything else..
Will PetersMay 16, 2012 Who knew that a 1,200hp engine is hiding under that
gammo66May 16, 2012 true sleeper would love to have it
Ben NortonMay 16, 2012 Wow they did a really good job. Only give away are the rear tires

It could do more, too
It can do that with a twin supercharged LS2 engine.
Jeez!!!! That is amazing how it can do that.
Super Sleeper haha good one.
