1589 hp TT 1957 'Shivy
 

Now to see it run somewhere...and hopefully caught on vid. :thumbsup:

Here's the text from the Autoblog article on it.

"The car is actually nicknamed "57 Sleeper" by its owner, Tim Kerrigan, founder of Red Line Oil. Built by Dominator Street Rods of Tracy, CA, this '57 Chevy is packing a twin-turbo, 540ci V8 with... drum roll please...1589 horsepower and 1508 pound-feet of torque. The car is built on an Art Morrison chassis and features other goodies like Wilwood brakes, custom 3-inch headers, and Schott Performance wheels."

Mike Moran built the motor in this guy. I am impressed by the car to say the least. This car is a nor cal build, it was built by Dominator rod shop of Brentwood,Ca. N

Couldn't afford Nelson's symmetrical turbos huh? J/K LOL..:lol:

Nice work! But without air filters it wont hold that power for a long time.

WOW!!! That is a gorgeous car Skip!! Gorgeous.:thumbsup:
I started laughing when I read, "this '57 Chevy is packing a twin-turbo, 540ci V8 with... drum roll please...1589 horsepower and 1508 pound-feet of torque".:willy: :wow:
Over 1,500 foot pounds of torque?!?!:faint:

The only reason I posted the pics is 'cuz I like the cut down Bel Air steering wheel.



:D

Yes it is a gorgeous car. Craig Morrison posted on PT that it also has a full traction control system.

Beautiful but doubt it will be very functional. First thing I see is melted inner fenders if you actually beat on the thing.

very nice car no doubt.my complements to the builders of the car.I am all for huge power but come on how can you possibly put that to the ground in a street car on street tires? just seams like a waste of the green to me .watched an episode of pass time and the whole show consisted of twin turbo vipers,lambo's and the least powered car had about 900hp. most around 1100hp.not a one could get anybetter than a mid 11 sec. time slip.just another guy with too much money. I could be wrong maybe we will se him and the next power tour.lol.

You beat me to it.... I was thinking the very same thing -- and am HOPING that this is only the "for show" version.... Please tell me they're smarter than your average 5th grader! :rofl:

1589 Hp and a bench seat....my kind of car!
