NAME: 2021 Gordon Tronson Bi-engine Corvette C5 (GT-SSC)
Yep, you read that right. A bi-engine C5. Gordon Tronson is one of those well-known hotrod tuners you never read about until they do something truly interesting, and this C5 is quite the project.
It was unveiled at the Hot August Nights 2021 event and at a first glance the car shares nothing with its 2001 C5 corvette mother chassis. It features some creative bodywork that makes it look like a HotWheels, and of course the main attraction: Two chevy LT4s. With some calling it a “super-super car”, Tronson’s vette is quite the eye catcher.

(From what I gathered, the cockpit was identical to that of a 2001 Corvette C5)
