Tom Nelson takes a ride with Brent Jackson in this fabulous Corvette Stingray. Tom does a walk around of the car and discusses the many updated features of this 1000 HP car. At the time of this video, the car has only 150 miles on it. We look foward to Bret visiting NRE soon to crank up the wild. For more information at nelsonracingengines.com and nelsonsupercars.com .

I find it funny that everyone is talking about the guy ruining the car in one way or another b/c he's rich and spoiled. I guess u all don't know who he is he's a former race car driver. In Turing car cup racing I think he can handle him self and he worked hard for his money. ignorant punks

Colton Wancho I was curious what he did to be able to write a check for a toy such as this. He sold this thing anyway, wonder what the profit was. Better yet wonder who bought it?

@slugface322 9 жыл бұрын

Colton Wancho His bio on his site makes no mention of ever having raced in any 'touring cup series'. He's been a business man, that's how you make money in 'Murica.

How in the hell did Duntov come up with such a cool car some 50 years ago? All the styling cues since and nobody has come up with a better body style than he did so many years ago. Only the exotic supercars have the styling that these old mid year Corvettes had. Let's go to the beach and look at the StingRay's and sharks and build a car that looks like that. Job well done and a car well ahead of it's time. The C-2 were without a doubt the best Vette's ever made.

@blackwaterdogs4256 8 жыл бұрын

+Michael Taylor Zora Arkus-Duntov did all the development work on the small block, but it was Larry Shinoda, under the direction of Bill Mitchell, that designed the body, which is, IMHO, the best of all the generations of Corvettes.

Bill Mitchell was influenced by a one-off 1955 Alfa Romeo 3500 Disco Volante, built by Boano, the Italian coachbuilder, for Argentine dictator Juan Peron, when he made the first concept car the C2 Prototype XP-720 based on the Stingray racer. The Stingray racer-concept car was designed by Pete Brock, the youngest designer to work at GM at that time, Bill Mitchell, GM Vice President of styling, and Larry Shinoda in 1959. www.corvettes.nl/gm_prototypes/xp87/index.html

I'm sure it's a concession he made for his young son. You know, high-end tunes are something he can fiddle with when he's riding shotgun, SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY pretending he's driving or trying to get attention in a parking lot waiting for dad to return. Gotta think like a boy.

Nelson Racing Engines are creating some incredible cars. And anybody that thinks at 355 small block Chevy with *twin* turbos can't spin up 1,000 horsepower hasn't been paying attention to the progress of turbo-charged engines. Hell, look at the power output of those 1987 Buick GNXs!! With only six cylinders!! And that was 25 years ago! I'd love to have these guys build me a '67 GTO with one of their monster engines, or maybe a 1966 Chevelle!

Your guess is probably right or very close. Mid level FI SBC 355 should be around 400-430, then add 7 psi = mid 600s HP. Still, the car sounds spectacular and I love every mod thats done. body work, engine, suspension, interior....just all around beautiful vette!!!

I like how you talk about the RPM hanging around 1800 at 6:47, but the speedometer is still reading zero. I love the lack of wheel spin when you open it up, power in the right places!
