There is a local volvo 740 with what I believe to be an Ls1 under the hood.. not twin turbo but still a very interesting swap...

Re: volvette

The car only ran 11.7s. I would expect more out of a twin turbo LS1.

You gotta remember how much of a weight different there is between the vette and the brick. Did he even say what it put to the wheels? Nice brick nevertheless.
