1972 Chevy Nova (Super Sleeper)

I am a huge fan of muscle cars, and this one is probably the most well built, well hidden muscle car sleepers. A sleeper is an old muscle car that doesn't have the greatest looks. Maybe a few rust spots there, and some dents there. But then when you lift the hood, the motor blows your mind. and thats exactly what happened when I was checking this car out. You definitely can't see it, but this beast is carrying 1,160 horsepower and 825 lb-ft torque. This is because this has an all-aluminum LS2 Longblock with twin-superchargers. I'll give you a few minutes to stare in amazement at the picture below.
?How he was able to do that, I don't know. But I do know that they had to reinforce a majority of the body because the amount of power it has would twist the frame like no other. A unique feature of this car is that it has what is called "Octane On Demand" fuel system, which allows the car to carry gas from the fuel pumps at the gas stations, and and also high octane racing fuel. They each have their own set of injectors. The primary one is used for the fuel pump gas, since it is a daily driver. The secondary is used for the racing fuel. So when the driver is cruising through town he is using normal gas, but maybe when he is out on an old country road or maybe even on the highway or interstate and wants to get on it, all he has to do is punch the gas and the secondary fuel system with spray the racing fuel to give the car an instant boost. To give you an idea of how fast it is, it ran a 10.41 at 141 mph on a quarter mile. Overall, this car is truly an amazing and unique car.
